My heart just swelled two sizes – the first “duv you” marks a magical day to be sure!

Aww, so precious. Mine still steal my heart when they say it unprompted. mamalang´s last blog post . . . I'm so excited, and I'm having a hard time hiding it.

Dining table legs: Yep, a little more urn-shaped ending in lion's paws. Birmingham Wholesale Furniture (had to buy a membership, like Sam's or Costco now)? R. B. Broyles?? But, a sheet over the round kitchen table was a "fort." I remember getting too tall and bumping my head trying to walk under it. Cap'n´s last blog post . . . Stinker of the Month

Cap’n, that buffet is all that my parents still have of the Duncan Phyfe furniture I grew up with. Did your dining table legs look like this, as ours did?

I remember crawling under ours as a small person. I also remember the day I got too big to crawl through that space and got stuck, and someone had to lift the table so I could get out.

There was also a sort of drum-shaped, round accent table and a sofa of some sort, I believe.

Around 1978, Duncan Phyfe went bye-bye in favor of Queen Anne.

Just learned from Wikipedia: Duncan Phyfe was born Duncan Fife (like Barney), but he changed the spelling of his name in 1792! So designers were pretentious back then too? :-)

Triple M – he only wanted one. I am beginning to wonder if he really is my son. ;) If I hadn’t birthed him at home I might wonder if he got swapped.

Cap’n – that pic was taken at Grandma’s house a few weeks ago when we were there for Samford’s Homecoming.

I grew up with that same piece of furniture! Those side comparments are fun to hide things in, but don’t mar the French polish!
