Visit to Antique Warehouse

A recent visit to one of our favourite stores brought a pleasant surprise, it was the Antique Warehouse's 25th Anniversary and most items were on sale.



We fell in love with this charming 19th century ( 1870) Louis XIV walnut single  day bed. which we plan to use in Mission as a couch. The price was almost 50% off !


Another angle and with a bit of clutter

Next, hoping to get this French cherry wood table
