Items had been fixed and repurposed as a matter of truth. I remember the glass milk bottles. In lots of circumstances the outdated furnishings is best made than the new. It'd want some cleaning up or maybe some paint or varnish, but it's nice to be able to reuse objects. I still have some old tables in our house that date again to my grandparents time.

Some pretty good things here.
