Starting from the top ...The wine rack - nothing too fancy since we don't drink a lot of wine. I would, but it would be too easy for me to become a "wino." :-)
The antique buffet - this piece of furniture came from my mother. When she happened upon it one day and brought it home, I fell in love (sorry Ron, you weren't the first). One of times my mom came to visit me, she surprised me and brought it with her (my mom drives a truck - no, not a semi, Will). She told me that she wanted to see me enjoy it while she was ALIVE, and she didn't want to wait until she had died. Pretty cool, eh? So I do as exactly as she suggested ... I enjoy it. It is one of my favorite pieces ... ever.
The last pic is showing the columns that divide the dining area from the den. I've yet to buy a dining table, but will as soon as I find the one I want. We kind of did the backwards way (with regards to the dining table) insomuch as we invested 2K in the kitchen table. Most people pour their money into the dining room furniture, but we figured we'll get more use out of the kitchen table - THAT'S where we have "family time" EVERY day and not just a couple of days of the year. I want a small intimate table (preferably an antique cherry table) with parsons chairs. If anyone finds something like this LET ME KNOW!

I love the buffet too! It's SO pretty. I wish someone in my family loved me enough to give me treasured (well-made) furniture, pre- OR postmortem!! I can't wait to meet your mom when she comes. That story just adds to my vision of what a wonderful woman she is.
