I have been surrounded by all kinds of beautiful pieces of furniture for most of my entire life. See, I used to live in an old town house within Georgetown in Washington DC; this house was over a hundred years old and was owned by my grandmother, and was filled with a myriad of gorgeous antique furniture.
Among the furniture were a few pieces that particularly stood out from the rest. Firstly, my grandmother owned a fifty year old artesian dining table that was crafted from American oak. This dining table had the most wonderful aroma and texture, and was the centrepiece of the entire house. It gave an unprecedented warmed to the dining room that it was in.
End Table With Shelves
The second piece of furniture that was quite remarkable was an old 2 shelf bookcase that my grandmother used as a bedside table. In it she stored a whole range of precious books, wartime diaries and photo albums. It was made out of unfinished mahogany, and it had this rustic charm that lit up the whole bedroom.
Finally, the last piece that I fondly remember was a birch wall mounted bookshelf. It was in my grandfather's office, and in it he stored his old law journals, volumes and periodicals. This particular bookcase was great because it allowed my grandfather to clear up what was traditionally such a cluttered room. As his books were stored up off the ground, they weren't scattered around the floor taking up valuable floor space.
Even though these three pieces of furniture were antiques, that doesn't mean that you can't purchase yourself, artesian dining tables, 2 shelf bookcases and wall mounted bookcases today! You can get yourself a really good deal if you just spend time looking around. You won't regret your purchase, and I can guarantee that you'll get some great quality furniture for cheap.
