with your green box! I've never seen a green bakelite, I've only seen in browns. Maybe this is some other kind, very pretty. I would like to own one lol The telephone is nice too. Hmmmm, can I barrow it? I have reds around here too. Thanks for posting!
this thread!!
A few of my LOVES:
My screen (in the corner)
The Dresser and Chest of Drawers
The vase on the dresser
My bed
The side tables
I adore my coffee table. It's made from an old barn door. I found it took it off then had my husband (ex now) make a coffee table from it. There are holes in the wood, most likely caused from vermin chewing at it. You can also see where the hinges were (I have them still around here some where)
Here's a couple of my fave things around my home:
a 60-70s carillon that DH bought me last year as Bday present. I think it's made by bakelite?!
I think this is from the 60s as well... my telephone! I receveid it from my BIL for my BDay last year as well.
My hammock that was a brought to me from Mexico....

What a funky lamp betty! I love orange, my favorite color lol And the memories attached with the lamp is pricelss isn't it? That's why we love these things. Hmmm, nice artwork too. I know Luci is sometimes naughty, I see it in her tail
Oh I have no idea that etsy also sells vintage stuff! I thought everythings new in there. Let's see if you get that awesome pink milk glass pedestal
Thank you!
ITA - the best thing about that phone is that it works so people are always amazedby the fact that we actually use it. I love the way it rings.

Yes, we use it as our (only) home phone.
^^ your phone is really cute betty
but holy wow look at that view
^that extension cord lamp is so cool!
^love white painted furniture (dressers) & old wood (coffee table)!
^I'm not sure if that box is made of bakelite, but it's beautiful nonetheless! cool old phone too.
^ahhhhhhh...nothing beats a nap in a hammock!
^that's a wonderful story!!!That's a good idea f&f, thank you! I'll remember that. So far the DH rubbed the drawers with powder. The problem is, the chest stayed in the garage, I don't know for how long at the previous owner. So maybe due to very cold temperature in the unheated garage made some parts of the chest shrink? The owner said that they're the 3rd generation owning the chest. It already travelled 3 countries, Holland, France and England. They lived in France and chose to live permanently here in NL. And they don't use the chest anymore. And I thanked her for not using it bc I now own it and the price was very reasonable. She even told me that there were ppl interested in that chest and were willing to pay more but they were sellers. She doesn't want that, she wanted someone who love and enjoy the chest just as they did. Isn't that a sweet story?
^the chaise looks so comfy, & the view is gorgeous!
