The desk must have set you back a lot!It's beautiful, I absolutley love it. I noticed the painting over the fireplace right away.
I have a porch rocker and I'm hoping to find more. I just love the look of the mission furniture. I don't see the Mission furniture that much by me. The Adirondack chairs are everywhere, mostly reproductions, that people try to make look old.
Now tell me about your rabbit chafing dish I've heard so much about, perferably with pictures.
