Also yesterday we went back to the store and saw 2 more, one that had the same color but was much older and a white patterned one. Those two she bought as well, she said she wanted to put a chair in each room we have. Well at least the cats love it.
Also when we were there we bought an old round table with a leaf insert, made in the 1930's, for pretty cheap. It still needs to be refinished, but that should be nice for a dining table.
And then last but not least a console table with a tv, radio and phonograph in it. This table is pretty neat and everything works on it. The store owner said it was made in the 70's by RCA. I doubt the tv will be used much, but it looks like a great conversation piece and should fit in the dining room nicely.
These are very nice interesting things, but every antique store I go to never have the little things I'm looking for like, pocket door locks and handles, or clawfoot feet, or just glass door knobs. I'm guessing ebay will be the best way to go.

Last weekend I was at auction and they had 3 of those console stereos..and a couple BIG old TVs in cabinets also. No one would bid on them. Afterwards, my mother remembered that my grandfather needed a stereo [his broke] so she approached the auctioneer and he said for a buck she could have it and he would even get guys to load it up for her. When we unloaded it, we found a bunch of cool old polka records still in it!
