I am getting older too. We are planning on downsizing our house but I told my husband it will take me a year to "find homes" for all the treasures that I won't have room for. Your post is my inspiration.

It is in the same room with a civil war area corner cupboard which I would never paint. I think the cabinet painted white would brighten up the room. We were going to move 2 hours north but we just found out we are going to be great grandparents and we would be far away from that new sweet little baby so am trying to do some updates in our 1897 house.
