<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1617291, member: 13464"]I know how you feel! We have a similar one that my Grandfather made in the 1920's. Apparently, it was always in their basement as my Grandmother's "laundry" table. It is rough Mission type construction. Grandpa painted a lot of his "utilitarian" furniture with an odd - distinctive color of green... a color you really don't see now. We initially tried to sell it when we broke up the house that Grandma/Grandpa and then my folks lived in. Since it came from a very well known historic local farm... we had a high price tag on it and gratefully it didn't sell. In the end my sister took it for HER basement work table... we didn't want to alter the color... so she just thumb tacked vinyl over it to freshen it up. </p><p><br /></p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
