My really amazing grandma made this for me in 1999 after my brother died. It's made from some of his old shirts. Of course it means a lot to me and I've never really had a great place to display it. So, I decided to plan my guest bedroom to compliment this! After I got going, this room kind of became my heritage room. Each piece and picture in here has special meaning and significance. The small side table was made by my husbands grandfather, the dresser was a thrift store find, but my uncle made a new drawer for it, the pictures on the wall are of my husband and his sister who died, and his mother, who has also passed away. My next addition will be some pictures of my grandparents farm which my daughter has promised to take for me. Sometimes I just sit in this room and breath. It's feels peaceful to me, and it makes me grateful to have had such amazing people in my life.
I found this bed at DI for only $30! I refinished it to match the dresser posted here and the sidetable.
