I might have but there was something i didn't like about po-boys in general, olives i think or something like that. Loved the seafood there,...
Hopefully @verybrad will stop by and look at this chair, it's not in furniture forum so exposure/posts might be limited. A very interesting chair...
LOL, votes for PAINT! Naturally, i realize i am gonna lose this argument. In 1st pic it looks like it's painted light grey which i agree, isn't...

Yeah it is, agrees. What's the restoration plan or still evolving?
Oh brother! there are no mouse holes in these boxes :confused:. There was one a couple years ago i considered but there were issues with the paint...
oh i'll get one, sooner or later. Basically boxes are a decorator type piece, they have no real use like a chest of drawers or a table for...
