I don't purchase much Colonial stuff to re-do. Maybe 20 years ago I would have but not so much now. However, I came across this Windsor chair at the thrift store and it was not only old, but in good condition. I stood there for awhile and pondered.... this is how THAT goes....(a scary glimpse inside my head) -Nice … [Read more...]
