Thank you all for your kind words!

To answer a few questions:

lifeabundant: alas, the glass jars in the kitchen. I bought them at at Linens and Things a few years ago and they no longer sell that kind. I keep looking for square ones with good seals and can't find them.

loriSF: the silk blanket came from HUE, which was an Asian (primarily Vietnamese) import store in Portland a number of years ago. They may have gone online. Not sure.

rustypatina: the eyeglass holder is a funny little piece. I got it in a gift store in Jackson, Mississippi where it was being used to hold postcards.

swedishchef: the horsehead armor is a mystery! No one in the family seems to know where it came from. I am guessing it is a reproduction, though.

msjessiemegan: thanks for the historical society sympathy!

rachpie: I'll see if I can get a close-up of my grandmother's decoupage dresser and ask the Ronee if it would be possible to post it. I'm not sure when my grandma made it, but I think in the 60s. The paper she used was from a book or large magazine of stained glass windows.

thechannelofthought: the countertops are made of douglas fir, which is beautiful but rather soft. I covered them with a thin sheet of plastic for protection. The bookshelves were built by Brian Lazarus of Opus One in Falmouth. They don't have a website, but here is Brian's #: 415-4851.
