That desk is beautiful, with the old Underwood typewriter and rotary phone. I love little nooks of antiques like that.
Thanks JA ... yah, I love that look too (my house is full of that kind of stuff) Ummm, what about that sweet iron wine rack? (that is really one of my favourite and most used pieces of furniture!) ... it holds 70 bottles of wine (one week's supply!!) .... *rats* .... ironically, it's lookin' pretty empty in this photo => time to go to the liquor store!!
I never get tired of seeing your coins, but I never get tired of seeing your house either - you and your wife are marvelous interior decorators!
