Many years ago, I remember a woman, who was years down the road from myself in age and life journey, say that she didn't want anything in her home that she would be afraid for people to use.
Amen to that! But, I love beautiful things.
Utilizing reclaimed and redesigned furnishings is a way to create a beautiful atmosphere in your home while honoring people over things.
A hand painted chest of drawers can be truly remarkable... and it had a previous life... and it can have another if your great uncle inflicts a large scratch with his cane, or your great niece adds to the artfulness with her new Christmas crayons. Instead of mishaps signalling trouble in the relationship, all they need signal is that it is time for a touch up... or perhaps even another new era for an old chest of drawers:)
Congratulations on your beautiful blog!
