Reply To: Crendenza!

This is a little known fact: When I was a kid, my parents owned a furniture store. It was a short-lived business endeavor.

Afterward, our home absorbed the unsold furniture. We definitely had a credenza, or few, located around the house. It was just that no one talked about them.

You know, we stuffed the shelves, making good use of the furniture. Meanwhile, we didn’t discuss it.

From what I recall, we referred to our furniture by the color of the piece, or its location in our home.

For example, Pesach dishes went on that shelf in the yellow cabinet (likely a credenza, and definitely with an attached hutch).

Tupperware belonged inside the middle upper shelf of the blue baker’s rack).

And now you know a bit more of what my colorful childhood looked like… ☺
