Part of me feels as though I should appreciate this bureau more, you’ve all been so admiring of it.

Georgian style, which my mom currently has in her studio at assisted living. (It’s in the photo on the right.) And how interesting about the moniker “bachelor”! We had a nice tabletop arched mirror on a stand - which I loved and which seemed so “girly” - I would drape scarves and jewelry over the posts ( it unfortunately got broken during a move and thrown out by my father) which I was shocked learned was a “shaving mirror. ” Here’s also some more photos of the bureau, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]213384[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]213385[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]213386[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for the input, everyone!
