One of the many upsides of moving, is finding treasures in the storage room. I bought this vintage telephone many years ago at an estate sale. In all my years of collecting, it is the only item I have ever bid on. Most of my finds come from "junk stores".
The telephone is in exceptional condition and still contains the original workings inside it.
It has finally found a home in Das Kleine Haus, on the prairie.
This is an arrow back bench that has also been tucked away in the storage building. It is not vintage, but I bought it when my children were just babies. It is now, sitting in the dining room of my new home.
A vintage desk chair is waiting for the desk to arrive later in the week. The desk chair, is the actual chair I sit on when writing my blog and adding chapters to my novel.
Looks like Circa late 1800's.......
Plans for the Reading Nook, on the top landing of the stairs, are already spinning around in my head. I've brought an over-stuffed chair and ottoman from the farm. My writing desk will be in the space where the desk chair is sitting.
Boxes are filling up spaces in every room. More boxes and "odds and ends" furniture will be arriving this week.
This enough to keep me busy until the sale is final on the farm.....

Such beautiful pieces - I especially like the shape of the bench. I love the idea of using the landing as a reading nook - dual aspect so the light should be good, and it has the beautiful wood of the stairs and the floor which makes it seem warm.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scarlet....I also like it because it is a small cozy space.
ReplyDeleteHi dear Meggie, You are in a very hard work. And as I always say that you are very brave. I want to be like you..:)) All your furniture seem so comfortable and relaxing..

So beautiful! I love the colours on the walls and the way they work so wonderfully with that beautiful staircase and flooring. All those collected treasures...the lines of those blinds which give privacy but don't block the light.. I shall enjoy thinking of you writing your novel up there in that beautiful nook, Meggie.
ReplyDeleteThe telephone is a delight, I can understand why you bid for it.
I have always wanted a reading nook! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteLove that old phone! Your house is coming along nicely! It looks great inside.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that telephone! It's the kind most of my neighbors had when I was growing up. (Ours was different because we had a private line. All the people on party lines had phones like yours.) In fact, our little telephone company was the last in the continental U.S. to dispense with operators and go to dial phones--a very big deal in 1975! Thanks for bringing back those memories!
