I found this early 1900s Library Card Catalog for $175 in a vintage store and completely transformed it. I believe this is a unique card catalog from one of the many Andrew Carnegie funded libraries from the early 1900s.

    You did a fantastic job on the refinishing of this piece, but the tiger oak loses a lot in the use of a dark stain, imho. I love oak and hate to see it covered up by dark stain.

    My mom was 5 years old when my grandmother purchased an old kitchen corner cabinet from a neighbor for $15. My grandfather carried it home on his back. My mom is now 82 and the cabinet sits in the corner of my kitchen. This is my sentimental piece.

    My mom made me get rid of my college coffee table when I was in my50’s. It held memories of joints burning on the edge and beer stains. I was sad to see it go but I couldn’t take the harassment. I still have the dressers left behind by someone who lived in my old college apartment in Boulder Colorado before me.

    Today, l just picked up my Dad and my brothers flags from the engraver who did the name plate for the cases l have the flags in cased. It took 19 years and 7 years to get the name plates done . The plate doesn't just have their name but their rank, brank they serviced under but the war they where in at the time they served. I thought my Mom had my brother's done years ago. Daddy's flag wasn't even a case until last month.
