Staging The Book Case


 The large bookcase in our dining room is staying with the house
when we move.  It fits the space perfectly,
and I am afraid we would break those lovely,
wavy glass doors if we tried to move it.

 It has a great history.
We got it from our town's original library building.
It eventually became a high school library,
and then a middle school library.
Then there were bids taken on what was left 
before the building was torn down.

 We had measured, and knew it would fit the wall space
perfectly in our dining room.

 We got the book case for a song,
but the dining room remodel that it ignited
made up for any savings.

 We also "won" several sets of books from that library,
which have been perfectly displayed in the bookcase.
 We also displayed our china doll head collection,
coffee collection, white pottery collection,
and Ozark roadside pottery collection.
The last collection as already moved to the new house,

so we had to do some rearranging to the bookcase.
Like so many things,
I am going to miss it!
