[QUOTE="BoudiccaJones, post: 2071246, member: 5592"][CENTER][COLOR=#b300b3][SIZE=4]This was my Grandad's cupboard many years ago. When my Grandparent's died we had to empty their house and all I could get in my car at the time was this old cupboard,which I love and am very happy with ( though I wanted to take the Rayburn it was still attached and too big for my car, I still cry. ) So I've had it 17ish years. They lived in The Black Swan, Hay on Wye,if that helps. (Can't see how it would but am telling all I know!) Anyway I should paint it as it obviously needs it but I want to keep it as it is as they painted it with their own hands. It's been in Mr. Bou's shed for years but finally I have found space for it inside. Needs more cleaning too. Just wondered if anyone could tell if he'd made it,or if he'd cobbled it together or if he got it as is,they were always at what they called *the sales* ( auctions) and bringing fun stuff back. It has a metal top, I think it was enamelled at one time. I think the back bit is added at a different time,it's like plywood, but ... my usual disclaimer applies: ** I KNOW NOTHING** It's really dark here today. Pics are not good. (I have plenty more if needed) It's quite small, measures approx 36 inches across the top 18 inches across 25 inches down ( I hope that's right! I hate measuring things. It is small.) He used to call it his pastry table.
