My telephone nook has a folding chair underneath. Finally got it open.

Good deal! Looks like it is no longer a folding chair and has been requisitioned as a cat tree 😉

I love that!!!

Paint strip that! Nice stained wood.

So neat!

So the previous owners put tile in the recess where the telephone set would have been. It is probably as deep as the phone book slot. I would uncover that, get a refurbished telephone from the proper era, and look at the antique stores for a directory to go in the slot.

Oh, and snuggle the kitty!!

coooool!!!
