There are the pieces of an old bed out in the loft , and they can be put together . There 's an old corner cupboard out there too , with leaded glass doors , two old solid wooden armchairs , and a funny old chest of drawers with a writing desk in place of the top drawer , all full of yellow old letters and trash . I found it under a pile of old carpet . Then there 's a washstand , and also a towel rack up in the garret , and the funniest old table with three claw legs , and a tippy top . One leg is broken off , but I hunted around and found it , and I guess we can fix it on . And there are two more old chairs and a queer little oval table with a cracked swing mirror on it . '' `` I have it , '' exclaimed Sara , with a burst of inspiration , `` let us fix up a real old-fashioned room for Aunt Josephina . It wo n't do to put anything modern with those old things . One would kill the other . I 'll put Mother 's rag carpet down in it , and the four braided mats Grandma Sheldon gave me , and the old brass candlestick and the Irish chain coverlet . Oh , I believe it will be lots of fun . '' It was . For a week the Sheldons hammered and glued and washed and consulted . The north room was already papered with a blue paper of an old-fashioned stripe-and-diamond pattern . The rag carpet was put down , and the braided rugs laid on it . The old bedstead was set up in one corner and , having been well cleaned and polished with beeswax and turpentine , was really a handsome piece of furniture . On the washstand Sara placed a quaint old basin and ewer which had been Grandma Sheldon 's . Ray had fixed up the table as good as new ; Sara had polished the brass claws , and on the table she put the brass tray , two candlesticks , and snuffers which had been long stowed away in the kitchen loft . The dressing table and swing mirror , with its scroll frame of tarnished gilt , was in the window corner , and opposite it was the old chest of drawers . The cupboard was set up in a corner , and beside it stood the spinning-wheel from the kitchen loft .
The big grandfather clock , which had always stood in the hall below was carried up , and two platters XXXXX blue willow-ware were set up over the mantel .
