[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 10255989, member: 649"]I wonder if "sweater chest" is a regional term? I'm in the Midwest USA and I've certainly heard it before. I'm more familiar with calling that one a lingerie chest, too. But it came up in my search when I was looking for examples of sweater chests to post above. Agree. But different people = different tastes, I suppose. I think perhaps many of us here, and most true antique aficionados, have a horror of "upcycled" antiques unless the piece was significantly damaged and/or otherwise non-usable/-saleable. That vanity was a stunning piece, but it is sadly no longer to my taste. All that said, a vanity isn't an easy sale these days so it's hard to blame an upcycler for trying to get some money out of it, or make it more appealing to themselves and fitting for their own decor.[/QUOTE]
