I’m going to try to sell it on craigslist & can’t figure out the style. It’s carved walnut w nailhead trim. Probably 19th century. Any guesses?

I’m interested in learning more re antiques & was wondering if there are any organized ‘antique groups’ that meet monthly or so in Brklyn or Manhattan? Any ideas how to find something like this?

any recs for good but cheap interior decorator? Just need some help w tweaking, nothing major. Someone w a more traditional/Victorian bent preferred…

I’m struggling w the decision of whether or not to move forward with purchasing a home & am seeking advice – we’ve been looking for a house for about a year now & recently found a house in a good location & put in a low bid which suprisingly was accepted. We really like the location & love that the monthly payment (after the tax deduction for mortgage interest) would be less than we’re currently paying in rent, but (and this is a big but for me)…I don’t love the house. Unfortunately the homes I love (the lime/brownstone w the original detail in a neighborhood that is somewhat close to the park) are all pretty far out of our price range. So, my quandry – do we purchase a house that I’m feeling lukewarm about or wait (months/years?) until we can afford the house I love? It may seem silly/petty, but I would really like to *love* my house & be really excited about purchasing it. For what it’s worth (if it’s not obvious already) I’m a first-time home buyer.

if so, what are the plans for the retail space?

craigs list is a bit overwhelming.
