We think we’ve invented furniture that can morph into another form but here a selection with a table that dates back to 1650. I love the piano / bed. Wow! At home I have a small table whose top can turn and become large, Molly has end tables with drop leaves. I’ve had the hide-a-bed (basic). What furniture do you have that can do double duty.

July 28, 2014 by Claude Jobin

Anyone who knows me knows I love antiques. Road trips with me can be challenging when pressed for time because an “Antiques Ahead” sign advices of an upcoming mandatory stop.

Today I start a new project, I’ve got a new mission: I’d like to increase the appreciation of older wood pieces and the realization that they can be incorporated into any décor.

Recently I’ve seen too many before and after posts of great pieces where the after has it painted white. And so today with the cooperation of my favourite antique stores in the city I start a series of posts promoting beautiful wood pieces that can make warm additions to your home. Some can even sit next to an Ikea Billy bookcase.

Today’s post features a solid walnut dresser presented by Eric Haldorsen, Manager or Upper Canadian Artique, 1206 Bank Street, 613.247.0662
