It's hard to say what I like to cook because I like variety I try to cook many different things. But in winter I really love hearty soups of all kinds. By the way your mom's Belgian pot looks in excellent condition. I have a similar red one which is not nearly as old and it doesn't look anywhere near as good. Have a lovely weekend, Annie.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530750.post-31989309304920230922018-02-09T14:38:27.926-05:002018-02-09T14:38:27.926-05:00Thank you Carol.

What stops me is the intricacy of the breakfront. Cubbies, drawers, etc. It has some wear and tear on the surface, but really nothing terribly bad. I would love to replace the knobs and pulls as well but the one on the desk seems pretty permanent and the leather topped desk is a worry too.<br />If I can restore it a bit with some cherry stain that might work but it would be in pieces and not sure how that would work out.<br />I've done desks, bureaus, etc before.. sanded down to nothing and redone them but I was not disabled then either.<br />I'll let you know what I end up doing. For now I just think about it :).Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679083454202307997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530750.post-33244232732981408542018-02-09T12:17:50.915-05:002018-02-09T12:17:50.915-05:00Thanks Toni.

The Ziti sure looks tempting and delicious! Making me want some of that. That breakfront is gorgeous...never saw one with a little leather desktop before! That is wonderful. I'm wondering what you are thinking about in restoring it? Paint or refinish? I'll be curious to see. Your table looks so inviting. May I come and sit with you there? I'd love to do that someday...and you could teach me to paint...(did I say DAY? That might take YEARS!) LOL. Love visiting in your home today. This was delightful, looking through your open window into your home!!Pamela M.
