Cool find!

I didn't post this one since I didn't really have any questions about it. No, I'm not planning to redo it, the upholstery is still in good shape and I don't think that I could manage that tufted back! It is gloriously comfortable to sit in and it's only issue is a bent spring on the front left corner from people getting in and out of it, that needs to be straightened up. We paid $75 for it and so I was very happy with the price we paid too!

Ashville huh, cute little town, lots of stuff going on there, Brunk auction is there as well which specializes in southern pieces.

Yes Asheville is a fun weekend getaway..

Yeah is but, after going there 8-10 times, a little tired of it. Everyone who visits me here in Charlotte, the first thing they want to do is, go to Asheville. I try to lure them in the other direction often, Charleston SC for example, NOPE! We wanna go ASHEVILLE! For such a small town, Asheville has a KILLER public relations dept, they keep the folks comin, no doubt.

An amazing place, but I've only been there once.

An amazing place, but I've only been there once.

Exactly and once is enough, in my case many more times than that. Asheville does work hard keeping the arts thingy jumping, there is ALWAYS some kind of forum, show, exposition, bla bla bla going on there. And the Grove Park Inn is a wonderful place to stay with it's Arts & Craft thingy. Still, I'd rather go to Charleston, the PEARL city of the south, there's history, great houses/architecture, golf, seafood, the OCEAN! antiques up the ying yang, etc. But it's ALWAYS the same story with visitors here,
NOPE! We wanna go Asheville! PR wins again!

I'd love to take the Charleston/Beaufort/Savannah tour. It's a bucket list thing.

[Rauville]

I've never visited Charleston, but my wife spent a few weeks there while she attended the FLETC (Federal law enforcement training center) program at the Naval Base.
She had a chance to see the little CSA submarine they had recovered, along with being taught how do a U-turn at 60 mph. Those were the only highlights of the trip I heard about.

[jacon4]

lol, dang, sounds like she missed the WHOLE TOWN! or, maybe what happened in Charleston stayed in Charleston!

I am with you Jacon4 !  Those big places just don`t blow my skirt !  If it takes longer than 30 minutes to see a house,, then its too big !
