Sunday's video opens on a sound: a drawer pull on a hundred-year-old dresser dropping back onto its plate, then the drawer sliding out, wood on wood.
The piece was made as a buffet for a dining room. It came off Facebook Marketplace, and it's been my son's changing table and his dresser since he was born, because the top happened to be exactly the right height. Our house was built fast, like most houses are now, and the furniture that came in through the front door is what gives it any age at all.
The video goes through five kinds of furniture worth finding old instead of buying new, the buffet, the dresser, the coffee table, the armoire and the dining table, with the history of each one and the search words that bring up the good pieces at the lower price. A buffet listed as a "dresser" by someone clearing out a parent's house is the same piece as a "credenza" listed by a dealer, for a fraction of the money.
If you furnish a rental, this is where the money goes furthest. One solid old piece in a room full of new ones is the thing guests remember, and it's the thing that survives the guests.
