If you live in a 100 year old house you have to have a few antiques. We decorate with old stuff. Rolling pins and green and cream utensils in the kitchen along with some old glassware. We have a quarter sawn oak library table, a fainting couch, and a few 20's chairs in the living room. I have a few slag glass lamps as well. I have a candlestick phone setting on one of the many old tables in the room. I have a matching pair of glass oil lamps on the fireplace mantel. The dining room is all Chippendale furniture including a buffet, china cabinet, and a gentleman's server. In our (messy) library we have a 1909 Price and Teeple mahogany upright piano. It's a beautiful piece that needs some repairs. Most of them do! I have about a dozen oil cans just for fun. Not the pump kind but the drip type like you would go with a sewing machine. Hell, I'm over 50. I'm a antique!
