This is my blog and I am the one who posts all and monitors this site. <br /><br />I have recently sold the house on this blog and we have moved to Florida. We are on the hunt for a house to 'take over'. My style will be similar to what you see here except the palms will be real and the yard will contribute more to the scenery! We love the weather here and are so glad we made the move, especially since the snow keeps coming up there! <br />I thought about how lucky we were as we were walking on the beach this afternoon!<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words!Mary Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278948492520705898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522523482807617006.post-49977015983088308092010-02-25T22:00:00.758-05:002010-02-25T22:00:00.758-05:00Hi everyone.

LOL.<br />You can see my watermark in the picture as well (AntiquePurveyor.com). We actually sold the originals about 8 years ago and maybe those were Drexel. Anyways, they sold for good money back in the day. Having left the chair ad on my site as "sold", the chair consistently brought me inquiries and leads and eveyone wanted the chair. So, we copied it. They have been available on my website for a long time now, and sometimes you can find pairs of arms on sale. Right now, for example, you can take a pair for $300! You can't call that rich. Lol.<br />Anyways, I love your blog here and thanks for sharing our pictures and not taking credit for them! That is kind of you. <br />For those who want this style Duncan Phyfe dining chair, here is our website.<br /><br />http://www.antiquepurveyor.com<br /><br />Maybe the admin can link us up!<br />I can share your blog link as well.AntiquePurveyor.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868352709746181993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522523482807617006.post-54571706158363268272008-09-24T11:44:00.000-04:002008-09-24T11:44:00.000-04:00No that is not my buffet, but I did find one on Cr...No that is not my buffet, but I did find one on Craigslist recently (for $200, a steal) that had fluting on the applied front legs. But it was sold before I got a reply (because it was such a great deal, needed refinishing)! I have one similar but in lighter oak that is in the garage waiting for my attention! I want to stain mine in black. You have a china cabinet to match? would love to see pictures! I envy you!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by and commenting!Mary Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278948492520705898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522523482807617006.post-68901922255638473382008-09-23T22:02:00.000-04:002008-09-23T22:02:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness!

Do you own this piece and if not, where did you see it and do you know the price of it? Mine is over 100 years old and was my great Grandmother and Grandfathers. I also have a china cabinet and table to match and I love these pieces dearly."Maggie & Kevin"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00750859615565551050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522523482807617006.post-1476924334449664032008-08-20T16:34:00.000-04:002008-08-20T16:34:00.000-04:00Thanks twizzis,Thanks for stopping by and leaving ...Thanks twizzis,<BR/>Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment!

When I finally brought home my parents DP buffet I did the same. Cleaned it up. My mother didn't take care of it much. And years ago I found a DP dining table at Goodwill for about $25.00 The tabletop is in great condition, but the legs are not. I would like to have them repaired and use the table. <BR/>Anyway, I've always admired your style. When you move are you going to keep the same style in the next home ?<BR/><BR/>Ciao<BR/>GlendaGlendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512282878048503909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522523482807617006.post-73160961106484445242008-07-13T13:36:00.000-04:002008-07-13T13:36:00.000-04:00Hi Lori Bee!Thank you, I would describe it that wa...Hi Lori Bee!<BR/>Thank you, I would describe it that way too! Will add those words to the description! I have lived a long time in New England and in South Florida, I can't hide that fact with this style!
