It was fun, and definitely left me with a greater appreciation for my old sugar chest. Turned legs, plain - not paneled sides, one drawer that reaches from leg-to-leg, and original finish, including one blemish that I caused when I let an iris blossom drop on the top and didn't get it off quickly enough. The discoloration is small, but still is a shame.<BR/><BR/>-KHKittyHawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739803072124784137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861307316932691361.post-70299443867329103162007-11-30T16:33:00.000-05:002007-11-30T16:33:00.000-05:00Laurie--you're right.

The sugar and booze would have been kept below and then the hinged writing surface could be lowered when needed, revealing several small drawers to keep other valuables. I imagine the lady of the house could get quite a power buzz by having the key to this desk on the key ring worn around her waist!Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861307316932691361.post-75936136372331492532007-11-30T15:03:00.000-05:002007-11-30T15:03:00.000-05:00wow, sugar chests. who knew? i'd never heard of th...wow, sugar chests. who knew? i'd never heard of that but they sure are beautiful. in the north we would call those <I>desks.</I>lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861307316932691361.post-41529272117285189432007-11-30T03:06:00.000-05:002007-11-30T03:06:00.000-05:00Hi Faye,Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Will definitely drop by your blog, now that I'm semi-retired (on a trial basis, just taking a year out) and have time to read lots of good things. :-)Babaloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453252897926773386noreply@blogger.com
