Furniture.....Finally!

Since we moved here, about 6 months ago, we have had nothing in our front room. Well, that isn't necessarily true. It used to be where Luke played trains and baseball. We had spent quite a bit of time looking for furniture, and were disappointed. Dave especially. He ended up going on a trip to Michigan for work, and when he arrived home, this is what he saw when he came in the front door!




The large cabinet in the back of the room belonged to my Great-Great Grandfather Richard Withers. It has been sitting in my Grandpa Mel WIthers garage for the last 10 years. I am so thankful that this piece of furniture has made a home here! It took me a little while to clean it up, and Cheri and Matt had to come over to move it around for me. I am a little sad that the top piece of woodwork will not fit on with my ceiling height, but I think it gives it a more modern feel to have the straight lines along the top instead of the fancy scroll work. I found the company name on the back of the cabinet, and I believe it was made in the late 1800's, here in Salt Lake. I have enjoyed unboxing 'family items' to place in the cupboard.
