Sideboard: a flat-topped piece of furniture with cupboards and drawers placed along a wall and used for storing dishes, glasses, and table linen. Also known as my favorite piece of furniture ever! Two weekends ago while Joe held down the fort, I combed all the flea markets in the area for something to hold our school supplies in the dining room. Considering my long held addiction to dishes, there just wasn't enough room in my kitchen cabinets for the beloved dishes and the growing collection of school supplies and books. So I found this.
It's a cedar sideboard, some call it a buffet but I'm calling it a sideboard. It seems to be handmade and has glass drawer pulls. The cabinet doors have old clasps that are mounted crooked and that makes me love it all the more. I love to think about a man making it for his wife to put in her farmhouse dining room to hold her china and hand embroidered linens. Linens much like the one shown here, oh it makes my heart sing!

Love the sideboard! The wood is really pretty.
Those biscuits look really good. I might have to make something to go with them! Thank you for the nice comments.
Audra, I love it!!!! It's the perfect size for that space. You seem to have better spatial skills than I do. Lovely flowers, too.
PS whatcha going to do with that butternut squash? love me some soup.
Kristin,
The butternut squash is destined for Barefoot Contessa's Caramelized Butternut Squash. Oh my, to die for! I do cut back on the butter and sugar a bit but not too much. :)
that is a beautiful piece of furniture...you'll be able to store so much in there...and the top is great for displaying and decorating. Very nice! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet commnent...it's nice to 'meet' you.
Very nice, Audra. Where did you find it? I'd love to get together again sometime soon...
