I'm not sure why I love furniture that shows some wear, character? Most of it shows the love someone had for it, I imagine who owned it, what they were like. You can make stories for of all the pieces. They change all the time. Busy Mom, busy Dad, Farm people, Things I've seen at my Grandmothers, Nannies, antique shops. ( I grew up with that ) Am I an antique? I do show some wear and I hope character.
