I don't know how it started really or why it started, but it did. It started small, this change I was looking for, and eventually it just began to take on a life of it's own. I would like to blame someone so it will have to be my fellow blogger and friend who told me the antique mall where she sells her wares had a nice mid century furniture section. "It does, heh?" Well, that started it. I would just take a look-see when I went to visit my new granddaughter the next time(and her daddy and mama of course). Oh, it wasn't going to be that bad, I was just looking for some kitchen chairs. I did find four kitchen chairs that would work perfectly with my 30 year old Scandinavian Design teak kitchen table. It has always been the one piece of furniture that I adore. For some reason that I cannot comprehend now, I changed my style of furniture. The only problem with the chairs was that it came with its own teak table. I didn't need it really but I have since found a use for it. Mission accomplished, I found chairs to replace my original ones which I still cannot believe I gave away. Insert 'I could kick myself' here. Wait, wait, wait, what DO I see over there? Is it a credenza that I do not yet know that I need or want?? Well, yes, a perfect condition, highly grained and beautiful teak Mc Intosh credenza calls my name! So guess what? No, I didn't buy it on the spot. I left it there and I sulked. I sulked and thought and thought and sulked about it all night long and THEN went the next day to get it in my son's truck and took the chairs and the table that I didn't really need home and stored the credenza at my son's home until I could get it to my own home. OK, there may have been some cute nesting tables and a two toned half circle table too but they were well priced and small plus I really did need end tables. This is how it began..not quite two years ago...and the saga continued. I will continue the stories. I had a long way to go!
