sweet nostalgia.

This rocking chair belonged to my great grandma Fern.
….and I can’t wait to rock my own little Fern in it in approximately 6 more weeks (give or take). 
 My grandma gave it to me and I kind of love it.  Lucky for me, my grandma has some upholstery skills up her sleeve, because while I love me some nostalgia, the fabric is just a little too busy for me.  I’m super excited to have a little piece of nostalgia in Fern’s room.  I think furniture and decor pieces with a story are the best kind and give so much more life to a room.

  6. That is so nice that you will get to rock your own baby in that chair! What a heirloom!

  7. Bennett’s sweet green chair was actually my step dads…I used to curl up in a super awkward ball in it to watch tv when I was little. I’m sure he did the same when he was little because it was his parent’s chair originally! Having a cool story behind stuff is way cooler than buyin something thrifted!

  8. That is so very special… and I can’t believe how close you are!! So exciting. BTW- I have a couple of small baby related items for you and don’t know when I’ll see you again. Do you have a PO BOX I can mail them to?
