I've been looking at various designs for a sideboard for our dining room. This started out life as a music cabinet built about 1900. The music cabinet, built in white oak, is a little less than half as wide, has only one drawer and had a curtain instead of a door. It is about 3 inches shallower front to back. There are little square inlays on the back splash slats. The look like ivory on the original. I'm not so sure about the brackets near the bottom of the back legs. That's an original detail but I'm thinking the back feet should match the front ones and skip the brackets. The center stiles might get slimmed down. I was thinking of a secret compartment between the drawers.
