There is something fascinating about traditional drinks cabinets like this. At first glance, it looks like an elegant piece of furniture, but its real beauty lies in the craftsmanship. The cabinet is designed to store and display glassware, with a hinged lid that opens to reveal carefully arranged compartments. Inside, you can see different styles of drinking glasses, including cut-glass pieces with intricate geometric patterns. These patterns are created by cutting and grinding the glass surface with abrasive wheels, then polishing it to produce brilliant reflections. Cut crystal became especially popular in European decorative arts during the 18th and 19th centuries. The hand-painted bird decoration on the cabinet adds another artistic touch, combining furniture design with decorative painting. What makes pieces like this special is the attention given to both function and appearance. They were made to be useful, but also beautiful enough to become a centrepiece in a home. A reminder that everyday objects can also be works of art.

Imagine having a ceiling fan like this in your home in 1920. The copper finish, the unusual shape, and those spinning blades make it look like something straight out of a science fiction movie. What caught my attention is how different it looks from the fans we use today. Back then, even an ordinary household machine could have a design this distinctive. Over 100 years later, it’s still turning, and honestly, I’d rather restore a piece like this than throw it away and replace it with a modern fan. Old engineering had its own charm.

Last month, Kirk Herbstreit said he doesn't follow politics or pick sides. Which was nonsense. Just last week, Herbstreit quietly headlined a fundraising dinner for Alabama's second-biggest PAC. The next day, it sent $155,000 to Tommy Tuberville. foiaball.com/p/kirk-herbstre…
