I am very lucky that I married someone who came with furniture of some quality. I am unlucky in that not every piece is something that fits my style.
I have finally determined that I love Chippendale, Federal, Georgian or Empire style furniture. Most of the pieces that I do not love are Victorian style furniture. I plan on living with it until sometime in the distant future I can afford to replace it with pieces that I absolutely love.
In fact, in the pieces that I do buy current (i.e. saving money right now for a new couch), my policy is that I must adore the piece and see it fitting into my long range design plans.
Recently, I had a night where I could not sleep, so I spent a few hours dreaming while playing on ebay. I have determined that I want a piece of furniture that resembles the following pieces. While I would love the authentic antique pieces, I am willing to settle on quality reproductions.

I want this style table and hope that it can seat 10-12 with leaves in it because I adore the idea of the future family gathered around the table. Source |
