The subject for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is furniture. What you see in the following images is anything but ‘just part of the furniture.‘ I love ornate furniture like these chairs and table at The Hotel Chequamegon in Ashland, Wisconsin, although they are not necessarily designed for comfort. Of course you would need the right kind of house in which to put them. And I definitely wouldn’t want the job of dusting them every day.
Now, if you owned a place like Biltmore House in Asheville, you would need plenty of fancy furniture to fill all those rooms, like these beautiful pieces in the Salon.
In Mr. Vanderbilt’s bedroom.
In the Van Dyck Room
And in the Morland Room.
Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, Minnesota also has it’s share of fine furniture, although maybe not on quite such a grand scale.
And furniture at the Cuneo Mansion in Vernon Hills, Illinois is certainly worth seeing.

Getting the Picture 
Beautifully ornate furniture, Sue! Yes cleaning and keeping them tidy is a task 🙂
I imagine you would have to use a fine brush to clean all that ornamentation. Just thinking about the size of Biltmore House, it must take a lot of people many hours to keep everything looking so beautiful.
I love old furniture, but that’s a little too much:)
Nice to look at but not very practical. Most of these would probably be considered museum pieces. I would be too afraid of damaging the expensive ones.
A wonderful selection.
Thanks, Tom!
