This is an 1870's walnut cylinder roll top desk. It is from the office of a Vice President of the Great Northern Railway in St. Paul. It now has a place of honor in my family room.

I’m a guy who has somehow fallen into the shabby world. A shabby chic world of shabotaged furniture and foo foo accessories. My stuff tends to be outside of the cottage without much chic, shabby or otherwise. My things are the hogs in this world of roses. Thus the title: Hogs and Roses. (Please look at my 1st post "Why Hogs and Roses?")
