My husband and I bought a house full of Drexel, all matching, and paid for it on time! Even though my parents had done it, I didn't realize that "collected over time" is the most pleasing of design. I still have a few pieces--it was stellar furniture then, but have added many other pieces. I am drooling over that French cane sofa.

What's worse is that I "look & see" furniture in a new light & wouldn't buy NEW if I wanted too!
