<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 192339, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I know how Bev feels. People are always amazed at my furniture and decorations. Since it is so different from the way people decorate here. It seems that people left everything back north when they moved down here. Everything is 1980s , wall to wall carpeting in bright colors and matched furniture and wall paintings. The the new piece of furniture I have is an 1930s Sheridan mahogany dining room table. My Kitchen table, chairs and china closet were from 1937. My living room has Queen Anne chairs with Art Deco end tables, a large American Empire table, English Regency desk etc. My floors are all porcelain ceramic tiles covered with Oriental rugs. The tile floor is mixed like sandstone. The entire floor plan of the house has the tile floor inside closets, the kitchen and baths, the laundry floor. I did not want wooden floors again, too easily scratched from all the sand around here but I did not want wall to wall, I always hated it. Everyone thinks that they walked into a museum house since nothing matches "matchy matchy".</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
