My GIL (Grandmother-In-Law) passed away in the early 80's. She was my wife's grandmother. The only furniture left to speak of was a corner cabinet that is described as being about 6' tall, and about 36" wide at the front. It has two framed glass upper doors, and two solid doors below. It's painted white.
It's up for grabs, as my Cousin-In-Law (my wife's cousin) has had it since, and doesn't want it anymore. I have been in that home and if it was there I didn't take notice. If it was ornate or out of the ordinary, I'm sure I would have remembered it.
Anyway, my wife has expressed her desire to have it. We only have one corner in our home that it could go. To get it from Virginia to Florida would entail a mover to pack it up, and ship it here. There would likely be considerable shipping costs. For whatever it looks like, and it's close to 100 years old, I could duplicate it, and likely make one for the shipping costs.
We have discussed that option, but at the present, we don't have a great need for another cabinet. It's just the "belonging to her grandmother" thing that's an issue...one of those family things.
It may be just worth the "hubby points" to make her happy.
