A table cloth would be a cheap and easy way to dress the table, but I have to say I never worry about wood types matching, I think we have multiple types in every room in the house! I hope your Dad has settled well into his new home. xxGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-62061127122459237142015-05-13T13:21:01.822+01:002015-05-13T13:21:01.822+01:00It looks rather lovely Jo.

You could always stain that square panel on the top of your table in a darker stain to match your heirloom furniture. And stain the curtain pole rather than replace it ~ unless you were to go for a brass curtain pole. I will be interested to see what you collect to place on display on the top of the servery. Do you think you will use the servery as a servery? I know in my place empty surfaces seem to attract things which should live somewhere else.carol in cairnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361149279309934814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-1207925424879755082015-05-13T10:35:36.774+01:002015-05-13T10:35:36.774+01:00Very lovely dresser!

Sanding back the table and staining it or adding a table cloth would be my suggestion. I am a great fan of dark wood so I think the furniture is stunning, it must have lots of memories for you too.mamasmercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011278973985658118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-14419574824402380532015-05-13T09:22:08.943+01:002015-05-13T09:22:08.943+01:00Dear Jo

You've already got a bit of a Victorian look with the dado rail and colours. A tablecloth could be the way to go and you could paint or varnish the curtain pole, rather than replace...<br />Good luck with whatever you decide.<br />Best wishes<br />Ellie<br />Ellie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.com
