i love suitcases!

they are decorative and so useful at helping me keep things tidy.

it was made by michael's favorite childhood teacher/principal, mr. shennan.
it contains baby keepsakes & my wedding dress.
someday it will house josie's children's baby keepsakes and her wedding dress
{i promise, josie!}

the amoire was a wedding gift from michael's parents...
it was made by his dad!!
WE LOVE IT.
it stores the t.v. & such, as well as books, family games, and other treasures...
when noah & emilie were little the bottom shelf was filled with their toys,
that is until they shoved them aside and crawled in beside them.

the red doll on the bottom left was a gift to me from my dad.
i hope this amoire will be a family heirloom that my children and grandchildren will treasure.

I can't sleep... grrr. So instead I am taking a lovely tour of your home. :)
Suitcases = key to organization? I'm thinking I need some suitcases! :)
I love your homemade furniture and the fact that Josie will get to have that very special chest someday. Now I am so curious as to what Noah and Emilie's special gifts were! :)
I do have some special heirlooms and things from childhood... I will have to do a tour of my own someday!
Sweet 9 month memory! We just painted our kitchen, the same yellow as your living room? Hmm...
Thanks for the tour!
I love the idea of meaningful first birthday gifts. What a beautiful treasure to hand down (and it's functional).
Where do you find those suitcases? I've been looking everywhere!
love this room, too! i really wanna come over!
the suitcases are fun and functional! love.
and we pop with red and teal/aquas here. most of our things are second hand and totally mismatched. we make it work for us.
our only heirloom piece is my great grands cherry hutch. i adore it. it holds sweet little things on top and serveware in the cupboards;)
xo happy tuesday, cute stuff! xo
I love those pops of red, we have pops of turquoise and blue in our house. And I think the most important family heirloom is a peanut candy dish that was my grandmas. It's silly I know, but holds lots of memories!
I love the suitcases in your room, they're cute and fun!
baby in an armoire, WHAT!?!? i die.
and hope chest is pure awesome.
i got one for....my 19th? 17th? 18th? birthday.
it isn't the stain i would have chosen. but i love it.
its kinda "old school" you know? none of my friends have them. but it's one of those things you have for LIFE.
love that your girls have them too.
and PERSONALIZED. Amazing.
