T V Rewind

Here is the spot next to the window by the entry hall. 

The Hoffman 1950s television came from B's Aunt Boodie 

The feed sack picture was bought at an antique store on Main Street. 

We got black "chair" at an auction and found a white and black enamelware pan to go underneath it at an antique store in Fredericksburg. 

Added a needlepoint rooster chair pad from an auction box lot. (Love box lots!) 

Finished off the chair with a patchwork pillow made bu S's great grandmother. 

Texas Vignette

The top of the chest of drawers in the master bedroom. 

This Indian painting was done by J's aunt Gail. 

Little buffalo statuette was inherited from J's parents. The five books on the bottom were gifts from various family members or flea market and garage sale finds.

Antique American Indian book has an inscription dated in the 1900s. It was a gift from S's mother.

Taxidermy Armadillo. Another inherited piece from J's parents.  We got the rock   / Grinding stone at an auction. 

Brass armadillo ashtray. Belonged to J's parents.  

S's cannon.

Vision from the Past

We helped a family member move and clean a relative's estate / home.  Our work was rewarded with this awesome vintage heirloom television.  J is looking into putting a flat screen tv behind the original screen so that it is usable! 

Behind Door # 1

MThe little 5 x 10 space that once was part of an oddly shaped bedroom was converted into a computer room / office about 15 years ago.  It has evolved into a craft room and storage for extra paper goods for the household.  

We got this little chalkboard as part of a set a couple of years ago at an auction.The  larger one goes with our old toys Christmas theme, and this finally one found a home!  

The doors are basic bifold doors but  the plain wooden knob just wouldn't do. Here's what you do with a random antique yard sale doorknob. 

Man of the House

Turned the manroom into an office.  New flooring, did some fishing decor, and hung one of the deer hides along the back of the desk
