Some furnishings

We’ve had our eyes open looking for a hall tree for some time. But it had to be the right tone of wood and the right dimensions and all the ones we’ve seen so far have been too big or too late or just didn’t fit and then Thursday Christopher saw this one on Facebook. It seems almost impossible to get a picture of it because it is dark, and the rest of the room is light. 

The centre of the back has a beautiful lily carved on it. Last night after Christopher got home and I was done work, I used my secret special boiled linseed oil treatment on it to give it a little bit of a cleanup. Plus I got some white paint off it with nail polish remover, very satisfying.  

Chris also brought home the antique bookcase we bought for the front entrance. We bought it two weeks ago when we went to pick up mum. There was a break in the weather so Chris drove up to Halifax and back. 

It made it here all in one piece with a small injury to the legs as it was being loaded. My very handy husband has glued those back online and once they’ve set a little bit we will pop it on its legs then I’ll give it the super special boiled linseed oil treatment. 

And last but not least these fantastic Victorian uranium glass oil lamps. They glow green under black light.
