I bought my first antique a few days ago. It is a 140 year old Tibetan cabinet I intend to use as a sideboard. I stared at it for a long long time before purchasing unsure if my excitement would fade and I would loathe it in a few months. It is now in my living room and it is beautiful. Even Mr. W likes it and he considers antiques just old crap.

I glad you found a place for “old crap.”
Men have such a lovely way of giving things hearfelt names don’t they, lol!
The funny thing is that DH is ALWAYS skeptical of my reno/decorating suggestions, but in the end he always likes it. It took me 2 years to convince him that we had to get rid of the awful 60s wood pannelling in our entry/dining/living room, but he finally agreed and it looks fabulous. I’m planning a devoting an entire post to our ugly pink brick fireplace that he finally agreed has to go.
