Ooh, Dermot. I can get into hot water with my kids if I don't speak in the regional accent they have adopted. I forget sometimes ..... blame it on old age. ;-) :-D |

I still call my sideboard by that name. It ain't a dresser as it ends at about waist height and has no 'upstairs' cupboards or shelves). |

We had a succession of sideboards, mum being an auction goer, some were sold on quite quickly or had to go when we moved. |

In French sideboards are called "le buffet" which to me conjours up visions of steamy sooty railway stations and ham sandwiches. Still we speak French at home so "buffet" it is. The piece here was bought used from his flash rellie by my GF art deco late 20s. No , I don't keep my beer in it. Rellie was killed by a buzz bomb (update: with some others nr Harrods). The spot is marked with a blue plaque. Should gave stayed closer to his sideboard. |
