Here is the latest piece of furniture to enter our home on the ongoing furniture carousel.
Love the details --
But, house #6 was a 1898 Victorian, and I was wanting something old to more suit the house. So, we sold my Ethan Allen to my sister-in-law.
Next, filtering down through the family was this old buffet. This was the only picture I could find; taken on a Christmas morning with all of the mess included. This Craftsman buffet survived a couple more house moves.
And so we have the new (old) buffet. Surprisingly, we haven't been trading up as the new piece cost less than any of the other cupboards with the exception of the free family buffet.

Hi Sally! Oh, I love your new cabinet. It's a very lovely piece. Now your first little hutch looks so much like the one I have in the breakfast room, except I know mine is not and Ethan Allen. I found it on Craigslist and just love it.
Hope you're doing well.
Be a sweetie,

Love that word fickleness! I love furniture and always wish I had room for more. I have a hard time letting go of a piece if I love it. Thinking I need to get a little more fickle. lol! I adored many of the pieces you have had through the years. I have a secretary (a reproduction) that I haven't used in years. In storage at my sons house. It may need to go. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

I love every single one of your pieces- and it is funny that you mention fickless - I totally have that disease.
I have been in this house 11 years and am currently on my 6th foyer table. I sold 4 for a fraction of the cost of the first 4 and the 5th I took up in the loft b/c I love it - but I wanted a cabinet skinny piece that held my candles, extra cat toys and extra tp since it is right across the hall from the downstairs guest bath with a pedestal sink and no good place for tp. So YES, I understand you completely. In fact I am worse - sixe tables in 11 years in same house? REALLY? My hubs thinks I am nuts and he is right.
Beautiful piece of furniture...all of them are.
I have a thing on sofas, I can't tell you how many we have had in the past 25 years...I can think of 7 off the top of my head. I still haven't found the perfect one!
That's the beauty in buying older pieces-you don't feel so guilty switching things up now and again. And again!
Thanks for sharing at Fridays Unfolded!

Love the new/old piece. And everything is safely tucked away.
I have a curved glass china cabinet from my grandmother so I am not giving it up for anything. I did have a hutch before I put the china cabinet in my house. The hutch resides in the basement office for now. I am thinking it needs to go. Much too large for the space.
I love that piece -- it has a wonderful patina. And yes, I know what you mean -- with different houses often require different furniture. This old house has period furniture (20s) that seems to fit it well with a few Asian pieces thrown in which wasn't in the 1980s ranch we had before nor the 1900 Victorian we had before that.
So I understand your "fickleness"!
This is a beautiful piece. I gave away my mother's curved glass cabinet twice! The first time it came home when my son didn't want to take it to Cali. The second time I gave it to my cousin who loved it. She gave me her mother's Frenchy sofa -- so we were both happy!
I love seeing all of your china cupboards. I've gone through a few myself! I actually like your present one the best, very classic and versatile.
