<p>[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 358755, member: 103"]Bless Aquitaine et al, for mentioning one of my pet peeves. Marrying a wood that is, however slightly, yellowish, with a material that is, however slightly, bluish, just doesn't work very well. Victorian parlour sets were so often done up in deep crimson, or burgundy, or wine...regardless of the wood involved. As me mither used to say, "It adds to neither, and detracts from both."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
