@ECBG Regarding your Biltmore House reference - what artistic skills your dad had/has! My dad worked at the Biltmore Dairy, from mid to late 1940s, after his time in WW2. He met my mom in Asheville and they married & moved to Midwest for airline machinist training. We've talked about this NC connection before. Biltmore reference brought back memories.

My great grandfather. The house opened Christmas Eve of 1895.
My GGF made beautiful Mission (Art and Craft) furniture out of solid oak. It was the style after Victorian which was very ornate, so naturally, the next style would be the polar opposite.
As it happens, I never liked Mission furniture, although my art teacher friends did.
My style is Primatives. You can see part of the house on "Here's My Country Christmas" by myself.
