Saturday Photo Hunt: Antique
This is my antique china cabinet. It holds an amazing amount of stuff!
This was the sounding board of my antique upright piano. It fell off a truck and was damaged beyond repair, but I couldn't bear to part with it. So I painted the carvings to match my bedspread and hung it on the wall as a headboard. Downside: I really need a new bedspread, but I don't want to repaint the flowers!

I want that china cabinet - it's GORGEOUS!!!
This is wonderful!
Amazing....too bad about the piano tho---man, I'd still be bawling!!!
My antiques photos have been posted. Happy weekend.
I LOVE the paintings and the cabinet. I love as well that rather than wallow in regrets, you made a headboard to keep that peice in your home. Very cool.
Great selection of antiques. :) What a great idea to convert the sounding board of your piano to a headboard!
very nice photos..my favorite is the china cabinet.
I love that china cabinet. We have two in our house that don't match, but we can't get rid of either.
What wonderful paintings from your grandmother. And, I love the headboard. Just get a simple white bedspread and fogeduboutid!
Mine's up.
This theme was fun.
What a unique way to recycle a cherished piano. I see the artistic streak runs in the family. Thank you for the visit.
Those a beautiful antique things. Wow - 1885. That is so cool that you still have it :). The china cabinet is beautiful. What a great idea to keep the sounding board of your piano.
Have a wonderful weekend...
Some really nice things. So sad about the piano being damaged! And the china cabinet is really a fantastic piece of furniture! Thanks for stopping by!
How lovely to have a painting from your great-grandmother! And the china hutch is beautiful. We saved a board like that from an old piano, but haven't done anything with it.
I would love to have a china cabinet someday and I absolutely love that you turned the sounding board into a headboard! What a great way to keep something that you loved with you - very clever!
I still want some of those paintings...
Those pictures pained by your great grandmother are just beautiful!
Michele sent me to admire them.
Great choices! That hutch is just beautiful. And the paintings from your grandmother are priceless.
