This is (obviously) my bedroom furniture. I inherited it when I was a young girl and brought it with me when I moved to Boston nearly 24 years ago. Believe it or not (and maybe this is TMI) the mattresses are the original ones. I had a piece of the bed repaired years ago and was told that the mattresses were smaller than the standard size now (not surprising since it was furniture my Pitchforth grandparents bought shortly after their marriage in 1926). I love the vanity. I used to sit in front of it pretending I was a late-night talk show host (speaking of TMI). I love my furniture and especially because it's a family heirloom.
I love your bed (and the beautiful quilt).

I love it! Old furniture like old homes has a soul :)
ReplyDeleteFamily heirloom is indeed really hard to let go, but with a long lasting bedroom furniture like that, Ellen, wow, I don't have to worry a thing about disposing it in my condo - you surely know how to take care of important items, I'm impressed.
