<p>[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 9742606, member: 4864"]So I made friends with a wonderful woman who runs an antique store, and it was going out of business so she was doing a 50% off sale. At the same time, I was on a new antidepressant and had my first purely manic episode, so dropped nearly 20k (my entire life savings lol) on some furniture. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some pictures to begin. I'm having trouble uploading all of the images (keep getting an alert they're too big), but let's start with the most expensive item I've ever purchased. It's an 8-foot tall door. Not shown (yet) are the carved stone surrounds. There were also approximately 8-foot long white sandstone or limestone stabs (one with an ornate border (little points along one edge), and a stack of crates of other pieces of the stone surrounds, which I haven't unpacked. It was $3700! The seller told me it's several hundred years old and that it was a temple door.[ATTACH=full]476886[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476887[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
