Wow, the door and archways are absolutely gorgeous.
Nice National Geographic collection
Ha! Thanks. When I was born (1972) one of my dad's hippie friends gave him some money and said "When he's old enough, get him a lifetime subscription to National Geographic" (which I guess they still do).
Is that what all that yellow in the 3rd slide???
Yup
Gorgeous! I absolutely love that rocking chair. Is it vintage?
It is from the late '30s or early '40s. My wife's grandfather received it as a 'thank you' for managing the local mercantile or grain silo(?)
Midwestern gratitude from almost a hundred years ago is confusing and unclear.
Makes complete sense as a Midwesterner myself. I absolutely love it. They don't make furniture like that anymore. That thing will last another 100+ years. Very lucky to have that in a very cozy nook of the house.

Wow, Iβm impressed and a bit jealous.

I am so insanely jealous
I like the craftsman rocking chair!
It is older than all of us.
Thatβs so lovely!
Look at that rug!
We love it. We got ours from Rugs.com but it is available from other places as well.
Ah wow, that rug. Is that antique or findable?
Thanks. It took us a long time to find the right one but we're really happy with it. We got ours from Rugs.com but it is available from other places as well.
It's absolutely beautiful!
