Describe your memories of a piece of furniture from your childhood.
What piece of furniture from your childhood can still bring a smile to your face today when you think of it? I grew up around LOTS of antiques. Furniture and more.

I grew up in a great home – a large center chimney colonial set up on a hill. I have a lot of memories attached to different rooms in that house but my earliest?

If you walked in our front door, you would find yourself in a hallway of sorts that housed the stairs heading up to the…
