...here's a closer pic of the wood...it's solid red oak, lightly hand scraped, 5" planks...I think it's going to be pretty!...they are supposed to get started bright and early Monday morning so I guess I will be a morning person for a few days next week, ha!
Earlier this week, I took an hour and half drive to go and pick up a piece of furniture I bought online...I have been looking for an antique pie safe for ages but every time I'd see one that I liked, either it was too expensive, or the tins had a design I didn't particularly care for, or it would be painted, or something!...but when I saw this primitive gem, it was love at first sight!
It needs a good cleaning before I bring it into the house plus I want to put some lemon oil on it to perty it up but I just think it's charming!...there is some tin loss on the sides and it has a few apologies, but it's believed to be from 1850!When it's time to put the furniture back in place, I'm going to omit several pieces and try to simplify, I've never been good at that so we'll see how that goes...but I am so anxious to decorate for Autumn!...I'm enjoying seeing all of your lovely pictures and I want to do it too!...Even though it's supposed to be 98° here today...WHAT??!!...yep you read that right...I certainly hope this is the last of the heat because I am tired of it!!
Well that's all for now, have a joyous weekend everyone!

I am so jealous over you getting new wood floors Janet. The wood is absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see pictures when its all down on the floor.
So happy to hear you found the perfect pie safe. Be sure and show us where its new home is when you get it into place.
Enjoy your weekend.

How beautiful your floors are going to be.
I always thought I wanted carpet throughout and i did have it but now we have just the bedrooms and family room with it...eventually even those will be wood.
Your pie safe is awesome...great detail. Congratulations for getting it before someone else did.

How gorgeous that will be. One thing I like about re-doing things in my house is that everything thing is clean for maybe a week.
I am so anxious to see pictures when you are finished. Hang in there next week with the mornings because it will be worth it.

It was hot here in Ohio today too...in the upper 80's, but tomorrow will only be around 70 or so. A Fall day for sure!!

what a gorgeous find. can't wait to see it all cleaned out and in it's special place.
you'll adore your floors. we put in hardwoods several years ago and they're so much easier than carpet and healthier too!
