It looks lovely and right at home with your other pieces and it has such a place in your heart. <br /><br />I've moved a piece of that maple-y Early American of my mothers into my house and much to my surprise, it looks okay with my other furniture. I have always loved it because of childhood memories attached to it, but it never was to my taste. Well who knew, huh?!Sally Annie Magundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150258920599400128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113079651615955204.post-20048846886923876692012-09-03T11:12:30.502-05:002012-09-03T11:12:30.502-05:00That's the era my daughter favours.

I do like the modern hutch and the fact that it is a family heirloom makes it more special. Good stories come from old pieces. But I especially like your post on old recipes. I have my mom's recipe box and cookbooks--the Joy of Cooking--same volume as yours with the card taped inside from her mother in law. The collection of handwritten recipes, again passed around the school. She was the attendance office for a junior high. The other cookbook simply titled Joy. A hodge podge of cookbooks crammed into a small space, precious treasures really do represent our heritage. I loved seeing the photos and reading your narrative, bring back my own memories.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113079651615955204.post-32720331897946659202012-09-02T02:05:02.469-05:002012-09-02T02:05:02.469-05:00I would always place a piece of my grandmother'...I would always place a piece of my grandmother's furniture but I haven't one. My cousins took the stuff and don't even like it that much so it is stored somewhere in the basement. We have a table of my husband's granny, which is really lovely. :-) <br />You dining room looks very cosy.
