<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 200827, member: 23"]Welcome! Rustic is hard to find these days. Either the market is full of repros or someone has taken a lovely rustic piece and sanded & repainted it within an inch of its life. I don't know how many would agree with this, but there's a certain smell to antique wood that can't be replicated. If you open a cupboard or chest and do a sniff test and it smells like a sawmill, ask a lot of questions about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
