    Ideas 😄😄😄
    Bernard , Newby is only 45 miles from us so we must go visit.
    Seems nicer than Chatsworth in many ways, grand but retaining a homely warmth. Beautiful furnishings.

    Daniel, you may find what you want at your local auction house, used but in good condition.

    @AndyD Envious that you are so close to Newby. Does look like a great place.

    The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

      @wtg I'll look into Steelcase. I've seen the retail prices of Herman Miller and almost had to pick myself off the floor.

        Office chairs... at work we could choose:
        You want armrests or not?
        High medium or low back?
        Wheels on five legs, with a protective mat underneath?
        Fully adjusting up down, back height, tilt?
        Colour fabric or leatherette or leather?

        Or for home get a solid nice looking chair that fits you e.g. with three solid legs and no adjustments?

        I've always fancied a captains chair.

        That's quite a rug.

        My sister just told me she's been to Newby Hall twice, the gardens are worth revisiting in different seasons.

          I need it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

          I'm getting a new refrigerator, range, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. Getting these new is dumb luck. Getting a new washer and dryer is unheard of. The money for the washer and dryer can transfer to the desk.

          Captain's chair? Not sure what one looks like. Off to look.

          Steelcase $$$

          I would try Amazon on second thought.

          I didn't like them until I reached $1,700
          and then I started to not like them again.

            Would depend on your room of course, and you can get modern marine captain chairs, but these oldies appeal to me

              When purchased new.

              I buy used; it saves tons of money.

                Herman Miller or Steelcase. Used.

                The collapse of the office market has resulted in a glut of used office furniture. You should be able to pick one up at a used office furniture place for your under $200, and it will be the last chair you’ll ever need.

                Is there a WB Mason store near you?

                    Thanks, all. Considering your advice for sure. Trustee approved the home deal as of this morning. Car starts its trip on flatbed to me as soon as I can prove insurance. That will almost certainly be tomorrow. One more day...

                      I'm speaking up late to second the opinions about wool rugs. Quirt had quite a few nice wool Turkish-style rugs. (Not hand-tufted, I don't think.) When we bought a house together, we had three elderly incontinent animals. We had wood and tile floors and we needed them completely bare for the frequent cleanups. The rugs went in the garage. They stayed there for about seven years with no climate control, until we moved here.

                      Now we have young animals, and the rugs are the perfect colors and style for this house. I was nervous to see what condition they were in, but they were perfect. No stains. No fading. The pads were in bad shape, and that may be what protected the rugs from the elements, but the rugs were awesome.
