Antique Chinese Furniture!

Wow! We were treated to quite a collection at the home of Ron & Carol White. Over the years they have amassed an amazing collection of antique Chinese furniture! They lived in China and bought the pieces first hand. They have really lived all over, including Paris, so we had a great time hearing their stories! We first met them at Kelly's in Key West and they were kind enough to invite us over for a lovely dinner and night!
Chris, Carol and Ron at their Asheville, NC home!
An antique Chinese cabinet turned into a bar!
Very detailed carvings
I loved the open lattice work. Great entertainment unit now!
Ron, Carol and an antique bed now with cushioning. They used to sleep right on the wood. The table is what they would eat their meals on.
We dined on an old door! How cool!
Chris is 6'3" not sure he would have fit in this old bed!
Ron showing us how the side panels could be removed if it was warm out.
What an intricate bed. This was for a concubine!
Chris in the woodsy backyard! There are bears back there!
This is Casper's filet mignon that Ron made for him!!!
Ron made a best friend real fast! Casper even went and found Ron upstairs the next morning!
One last look at the yard on the way out! We had a great time!
