As you know by now, there was a great deal of furniture next door that we sold to the local antique dealer, but there were 4 pieces of lovely furniture that we did keep. My late In-Laws had very good taste in furniture and over the years had collected so many beautiful pieces, some were impractical, some didn't suit our home but the 4 pieces we kept were just right for us.
Before I bought them over I gave them a really good clean and polish with some homemade beeswax polish, they smell and look just beautiful.
This is what was replaced by the piece above, I have sold this on Gumtree
This is a prayer or alter table, it now holds all my recipe books and some of my table ware beautifully
This cube display unit that used to house all of the cook books and some table ware, will be going to my sister
Lovely Hubby just loves these Redwood cabinets, they are really quite stunning
This Balinese style TV unit was also sold on Gumtree
This last piece, above, will be bought over as soon as I have opened and sorted out the timber chest below, it belonged to our late Gran, we have had it at our place since she moved in with her son and daughter in-law over 10 years ago, I have a feeling it has never been dealt with. Its been that long, I just can't remember.
We will love and cherish these pieces and I think they all look really lovely in their new home. Even though they are so totally different from one another, being all timber they mix well together.
This huge journey of sorting out my late In-Laws home is almost over, I still have items to give to family and friends of my late In-Laws, but at least the bulk of it is done. There is still some furniture stored up at Goomeri where my late FIL had stored 2 huge Chinese Beds at a friends home. Lovely hubby and I will go for a drive one weekend and check them out, firstly to see if they are still in okay condition but also to see what kind of trailer we will need to bring them down. We will then be ringing the Antique dealer who specialises in Asian furniture to help us sell these, if our kids don't want them that is.
Hard work but worth it.
Have a lovely day,
💗Fi
