When you said 'Balloon back chairs' my mind leapt to hot air balloons. Were they cheap knock-offs and mine. I would be trying to make them look like hot air balloon chairs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-744697 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:37:50 +0000 SugarplumsMom 744697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love antiques. One of my favorite finds are a pair of Swedish balloon back chairs. The best part is they were 350:- for the pair ($53)! They're a lot older than they look! </p> [attach=1448/13/mlu9v3.450x600.chair.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-744684 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:33:14 +0000 IcebergMom 744684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: aww sweet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-744681 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:32:45 +0000 IcebergMom 744681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-744407 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:50:53 +0000 bpcmarj 744407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few hand me downs from family. Dressers that my grandparents bought when they were first married, ceramic roosters that were my Grandmas, and my favorite: 2 antique cast iron and wood school desks and chairs. I hope to get the desks appraised someday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-744345 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:42:41 +0000 spaniellove 744345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Draper chest but I'm thinking of getting rid of it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-744281 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:34:51 +0000 mediagirl 744281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few hand-me-downs that are just older things like a hope chest and some dressers. They're nice pieces, just not fancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-744270 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:33:09 +0000 heffalump 744270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-743970 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:38:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 743970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: DH's grandmother is getting rid of most of her antiques because she is downsizing. We're going to get a couple pieces. I really want the cradle that was made by my dh's great grandfather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-743966 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:37:26 +0000 heffalump 743966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love antiquing! Most of the furniture in los room is refurbished antique furniture, along with some other pieces in the house. They're actually cheaper then chain stores, and better quality.</p> <p>I also collect egg plates that I find in antique stores.</p> <p>most of the antiques in my house are passed down from family though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-743943 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:32:21 +0000 prettylizy 743943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like some antique stuff because I find it's far better quality than anything new. I don't particularly care it it's in immaculate or original condition. We have a small antique table in our foyer that is painted white (likely a proper antique blaspheme!) but I don't care </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiques#post-737862 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:30:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 737862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you like to shop for antiques? Do you have any pieces in your home? </p> <p>I love to go antique shopping. I rarely purchase anything because I have a hard time spending that amount of money. I do have an antique corner hutch that I got for a great deal. I have a lot of other pieces that are old, but I they aren't antiques. </p>
