Gentlemen's wardrobe
Our bedroom is complete. Tonight, the son came over and helped his Dad move the gentleman's wardrobe upstairs. It was somewhere in that move up the stairs, that the son said, you could have built a ranch style timber frame!
In refinishing this wardrobe, I found the date of October 1918 stamped on the back of the mirror. Hard to believe it is 91 years old.
It looks good in the room. We now have three wardrobes in our bedroom.
See how it turns into a neat little desk?
I still would like to find something in oak to use for night stands. Otherwise I'm finished.
Now time to get busy filling the wardrobe up! I plan on using it for fabric storage.

It looks right at home in the bedroom. Beautiful, and love the fold-out desk too. LOL to your son's comment! -Tammy
It looks like it was made just for your room! It's gorgeous!
Looks great in the room!! The festival looks like it was lots of fun too.
What a lovely, cozy room! Beautiful furnishings!
My dear Mother, I believe the "somwhere in the move" that you are referring to was on the landing 1/2 way up the stairs.
P.S. Thanks for the BeerRocks, I'm sure thats not the correct spelling though.

Oh my goodness, it is sooooo beautiful! And i especially love your quilt on the bed! Did you make it?
So beautiful. And pretty cool finding 1918 stamped on it. Wonder what that thing has seen in its lifetime?
That is a great looking piece of furniture. I especially like the fold out desk.
It looks great!! Is your house a Timber Frame? Living in a a timber frame house is our dream.
