When Doug and I were first married we were given a lot of antique furniture from the Heinisch and Brucker families. It was nice to be able to furnish our apartment with a sleigh bed set, dining room table complete with chairs and buffet, three bookcases and a china cabinet. I appreciated the help as we were young and living on a strict budget. The plan at the time was to use the family furniture for a few years until we were ready to purchase our own. The years went by and the furniture stayed. There just never seemed to be the right time to fulfill my request for new furniture. In fact we actually added even more family pieces to our collection, including a small bar, small buffet and a piano.
This past winter, Doug and I started taking inventory of all of the items in our home and realized that getting our house ready to sell would be the perfect time to finally part ways with some of our furniture as well. Neither of us want to move large pieces of furniture when we downsize and I, especially, am ready for a new decorative look in a smaller more updated home. We know for sure that we want to keep the piano as Meg would like to have that in her own home one day. Other then that we are ready to part ways with the furniture that we have housed for the past thirty years. We aren't quite sure how to do that yet. The Heinisch children aren't interested in any of it or don't have room for it. We have no connection to an antique dealer that might want it either. Thankfully, we have two more years to figure it all out.
