Came Back...

...with furniture for the Upstairs Apartment!!! Very exciting.
No place for them but, che sara' sara'. Mr. You thought we might as well organize their transport now rather than during a helter-skelter later. We have the Italian Summer holiday... Ferragosto... this weekend to admire them. Gosh... what's in that pile? Well, we have...
an 1830s country Empire bed... modified to take my 6'-2" frame... people sure were short back then... and thin too. The bed is a very narrow double-bed...
a 17th Century cherry armoire... explains the propped-up doors inside 1/2 of the armoire's guts...
an 18th Century chest of drawers in walnut... which, when we bought it, the thing was shellacked a dirty black!!!...
a three-legged ladder once used for picking fruit or beating-up olive trees for their oily fruit...
an 19th Century country table... with an already wobbly leg damaged in the move & to be repaired...
a 19th Century pots 'n pans drying chest... it will resume it's age-old duties shortly...
and...
two single bed frames for the sleeping loft of the apartment bought from our friends over at the Genoa IKEA!!! They are great with heavy plastic wrapping.
Here's what all that stuff looks like from another perspective. Interesting, no? Gads.
