I'm not at all surprised you can relate to this post....and from dancing with the post.....such a small step to a pole, was it not?.....I've got to get one of those....I have a post in the middle of the lakehouse, actually.....yes, I really do.......it covers a support post of some kind, and it's fairly narrow.....

That's such a neat furniture memory! I would have been looking for secret messages, too....I think a lot of old furniture used to have cubbyholes and compartments like that.....I hid food I didn't want to eat in one! Furniture was so much more romantic, then.....

Well, Kris....
I guess that ole chest of drawers has some tales to tell - if it could. Well, it's gone thru some girls and their secrets, hasn't it. No wonder it holds such a place of endearment in your heart. I don't guess you're gonna let that piece of furniture get away from you, are ya?
Nice post. I'll be looking for the other one you will be writing.

well, I can identify:-) Also remember using the posts on my bed to dance. We have a couple old dressers too that we are moving with us to Ohio and refinishing...so much nicer than the new ones we have, and they've been around forever. Nice nostalgic post

Krisles, I love this. We had a set like this at my childhood home. My sister and I slept in the big double bed and shared the dresser dividing up the drawers. The bed posts were rather fat ones and somehow we imagined that secret things were hidden in the hallowed out posts if we could only unscrew the top. We were continually trying to twist them off to find what was inside.

It's funny
how certain objects always bring us comfort. I have always wanted a vanity!!!

Krisles....I can almost see this furniture and you practicing your ballet..
When a writer can go on so lovingly about pieces of furniture, then you know this writer is good. In other words, you are sensitive enough to remember how valuable that bed with the spindles and chest of drawers were to you and the generations in between. I liked the line about the perfume and the aura in the wood. That was wonderful...Sometimes an object so simple can become so important in someone's life as you so aptly have shown.
