Something Old Something New

As we travel through the years and keep up with the times, it is important to remember where we came from. Our family members are more than just branches on a tree, but a treasure chest of our past by passing stories and "gold" to each generation. Along with the many stories, I will always remember my grandmother by the antique chair she has passed onto to me. This chair is stunning and I am thrilled for it to start our collection of blending old with new. I love when people mix their furniture with charms from the past and modern structure. To me that is home! Granny's green chair needs a bit of TLC, which terrifies me! The last thing I want to do is take away from it's beauty so I am hitting up Pinterest for inspiration. I won't finalize any decisions until it has the perfect spot in our new home, but I will take advantage of the time to explore ideas.

Here is granny's green chair...
