old lights...old cameras...action & more!

Our home is turning into somewhat of an antique museum!  This weekend we finally re-built the television unit that my Grandfather had...and now we are using the shelving as a display case to show off our favorites!

It's a work in progress for sure! BUT here's a sneak peak of some old pieces given new life...

 I have fond memories of Grandfather's Yorx stereo system... it was set up on the floor below his television for years.  It was set to his favorite classical radio station, so all he had to do was tap the power button with his big toe, and the room would be filled with music! It plays records, cassettes, radio & 8 tracks... Chris's favorite feature is all the fun colors when it's turned on!

Grandfather's Amelia Earhart & Grasshopper luggage are now used to store & conceal our games...

This is a GoldE Manumatic Slide Projector! Totally belongs in a museum!

Chris' Mom collects antiques and has passed on a set of Jane Austen's writings as well as some delicate Bibles. I've also included one of Grandfather's Bibles, his flight training log, and devotional book from years ago.

 This is a set of Shakespeare's work printed in 1899 that Chris' mom passed onto us! 

So beautiful. So old. Love it.

How awesome do Grandfather's old cameras look on display!? 

I'm going to try have the newer of the 3 Polaroid's repaired... but for now it will serve as a good bookend!

You'll have to wait until I make some fashionable additions to see the final product of our museum :-)
