a nice guy, by the way). The credenza has arrived! All I can say is
WOW! It's beautiful. It's so much more than I expected. I wish I

Corner Office Views

By Joe Labbe

Recently I sat down with the chairman of Kennebec River Antique Traders, (owners of this website) John Julia to get his view from the corner office… 

Q: John, spring has arrived in Maine, and many folks are beginning their spring cleaning ritual. What’s the right way to clean antique furniture?

Old chairs find a new home!

 

Happy with their new dining room set.

 

Hello John:

Reference: #14492 Ten Chairs, Table with Leaf, Server and Sideboard, purchased on 02/15/10.

We received the set on Wednesday night. We certainly had an excellent experience dealing with you and your company. The set is beautiful as it was described. The delivery people, Jeff and Luke were organized, careful and focused in making sure the set was delivered and installed perfectly. It was nice doing business with you.

Thank you,

Allen

P.S. I hope you received our message on Thursday. Would you be able to put our comments on your site with respect to our experience dealing with you?

Thank you again,

Mercedeh and Allen

(Editor's note: We couldn't be more pleased that you had such a fine experience with our company, or to be sharing it with others!. Thank you so much for your business!)

Hide-a-TV!

Several years ago, my wife and I came to one of those pre-wedding arrangements that new couples often make. Compromises that allow two people to both enjoy setting up a new home together. Our compromise was the TV. The point being I have one and like watching it and she does not! Coming home from Sam's Club with our new 42" HDTV set at the start of football season, my wife reminded me of our compromise, which was, if we have a TV in our house (HA! IF?!!!) then we need to be able to put it away, out of sight, so it isn't the focus of the room. I thought this was an equitable compromise and I agreed to it quickly.

I was really disappointed in the choices out there for media center / TV storage. There are plenty of TV stands available in furniture stores, but the armoires we found were not very TV-friendly or decent-quality pieces. Fortunately I see great furniture everyday at work, taking pictures at MaineAntiqueFurniture.com. I found this rustic armoire and set our master craftsman, Merv on task to modify it for TV duty! He was able to secure a fully-articulating mount to the rear panel of the cabinet and added a couple of shelves for the audio/video components. I installed some cabinet lighting and a cooling fan to make sure that the electronics didn't over heat with all the doors closed. 

Some links to check out for the equipment I used for this project:

Now that we have a 2.5 year old son, having the ability to put the TV away has really improved our lives. If it's out of sight, it's out of mind and we can enjoy other things in life without the need to have Thomas The Train on every moment of the day!

I hope you enjoy the photos. If you have any questions about this project, or would like some advice on your needs, please post a comment and I'll be glad to help you!
