<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sedona, post: 227381, member: 4438&quot;]Hi, everybody. </p><p><br /></p><p>I grew up in a 1960s tract house (popcorn ceilings and all) and had no interest in antiques, until I went to college in Los Angeles, and visited many classic houses. I had never seen a wall sconce before!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, over the past 20 years I&#039;ve purchased a 1929 Spanish house in Los Angeles, and got bitten by the antique bug as I started scouring antique stores to make my house more period-authentic. Over the decades the original lighting had been replaced with modern fixtures, so I needed to find lighting, then vintage drapery hardware, then antique furniture and, well, you know how this turns out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then, being the only one in the family with an &quot;old&quot; house, we inherited vintage and antique furniture, from a dining room set to dressers (including Stickley), etc. over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a weakness for old chairs, and anything tile and wrought iron (to go with the Spanish house). So, I will undoubtedly be creating &quot;what is this?&quot; posts. I&#039;ve been lurking here a few weeks and am impressed with everyone&#039;s knowledge and friendliness.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
