Since you asked...

...well, some of you....

Here's the lovely quarter-sawn oak Mission server/sideboard we scored two weekends ago for a mere pittance.

Apologies for the quality of the image - I've had more digital camera anxiety over the last few days than I care to go into. Let's just say that "Sunny" at Eastman Kodak did not leave me overjoyed with my support experience.

Okay - now I'm angry again.

Moving on.

The server is in good shape - a couple small bubbles in the finish on top - a bit of a scrape on the lower shelf. But all in all, sturdy and quite lovely. And it's measure-made for the wall space next to the doors to the sun porch

We've never been much for pristine antiquities. Had we, I'd have expired from sleep deprivation long before now. ("Do you think the dogs are chewing on it?")

That's a gorgeous piece, and it looks like it was made for that spot in your house.
Don't you love a great 'find'?

Lovely piece. I like that uncomplicatede look. No chance the door can swing and bust a pane on it?

Yes - a great find and a great deal - love that combination!

And good question, Lou - we actually placed it 'just so' to avoid that very real possibility. : )
