This holiday weekend we got to hop on a jet plane and head to sunny sunny (and humid) Florida! Did I mention it was humid? Sheesh. So different than dry Utah. But it was a fantastic weekend. Rhett got to see the ocean for the first time. At first he…well he despised it. We spent over an hour getting all of our beach gear together, getting sunscreened up, unloading the car etc all for about 10 minutes at the actual beach. But we kept going for walks in the evening and at the end he really warmed up to it.

                           

But the best part of the weekend was when Rhett got to meet my grandmother, Grandma Dot. She has dementia so sometimes she prefers to stay in her own world, but when she saw Rhett she just lit up. She sought after him to sit on her lap, hold his hand, she smiled and laughed when he toddled around. I am so grateful for those moments of clarity.

Grandma Dot is an incredible woman. She was a nurse in WWII and expected a Medal of Honor  for her service. She was on Difficulty, lived through the depression, and had literally hundreds of songs and poems memorized.

 

This is her on her wedding day. Isn’t she spectacular?

Jake and I owe so much to her for selection us as we started married life. She gave us so much of her gorgeous furniture when we got married because she was entering a retirement home. I am so grateful for these pieces for mulitple reasons. One, we got to start married life with real chairs and a table and furniture that made our apartment feel like a home, not a dorm. Two, her taste and style has influenced me to redo furniture and has helped me find my style. Here are two pieces that we have from her. 

{ A half round }

 

{ A chest of drawers }

I like these pieces. They inspire me. I like the warm swirls in the wood of the half round and the hand detail in the drawers. I like the untreated distressing and the tales it hints at. 

I reckon these pieces are priceless. Not monetarily, but for what they mean to us. These type of pieces are so vital.

So I want to question you if you have pieces or items like this (not just furniture) and if you would let me do a post featuring them and their tales. If you are interested leave a comment below or email me for more information.

Thanks all!
