<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 4180802, member: 5170"]This is the original back porch on our house (now enclosed), thus the walls of windows and brick. The ceiling is the original wainscoting. You'll notice first off that the sofa and ottoman are NOT antique! Hey, you've got to unwind sometimes! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]334092[/ATTACH] </p><p>The lamp is a Chicago Mosaic Co. ca. 1910 on a walnut base ca. 1890. I believe the shade has been on the base since the shade was made, so it probably happened once the original cloth shade wore out. At the base of the lamp is our Boston Terrier's kennel, she's taking a nap right now. To the right is a super comfy rocker, then a Colorado ballot box ca. 1915; the original patent was 1901. It's been in the family since it was made. Inside and on top are two Muller Freres vases from France ca. 1925. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]334093[/ATTACH] </p><p>Here she is.....Ellie!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]334094[/ATTACH] </p><p>Here we have a three-unit walnut Craftsman bookcase ca. 1911 from Globe Wernicke.

There is also an Illinois crock with a lid and an oak step ladder with a few fun things on it, including a cobalt chalice from 1925 and a bronze ca. 1900 featuring a young Bohemian from Paris.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]334095[/ATTACH] </p><p>So yeah, when we're not loving our antiques sometimes we just kick back and watch Netflix, much like you.....and you.......and you do!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
