When we were in Idaho last month for my Grandpas funeral, my aunt and I waljed around the house and she bestowed upon me more family heirlooms than I would ever have expected to receive in my lifetime. I saw a dresser, wrapped in a quilt that was made for my grandparents wedding and gawked. "Oh, you can have them both of those if you want, and the bed that matches."
Gasp.
At the time it was bittersweet because we didn't have a home of our own to put them in, but I certainly wasn't about to turn them down.
Fast forward 2 weeks to moving day and my Great Grandmothers dresser, beautifully restored by my uncle, was sitting in my room. Swoon..
There are two small drawers at the top, and I didn't know what to do with them. I started to keep my eye out for some sort of organizer to hold jewelry with, and found these plastic ones at goodwill for .99 cents a piece. I am toying with the idea of having Dustin craft permanent jewelry drawers out of wood to attach, as there really isn't a whole lot more these drawers are good for. I love it, and it eliminates the need for an extra item on top of the dresser in the form of a jewelry box. I love a good jewelry box, but I have found them to be a bit of a clutter point for me. This is working great, but I'm going to stick with the plastic for a while before making any changes. ;)
I received a few questions about sample box orders! We have shipped them out as they have come in, in the order they have come in. Yes, we can probably put a few more together if you still want one. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email!
What a stunning dresser and such an organised way to keep jewellery...lovely : )

I've been charged for a sample box, received a tracking number and haven't received any update. I emailed you last week directly to your email and through paypal. Please email me back.

I have my grandparents bedroom set; they were married in 1926! I just love having part of them in my home.

Ben Jones was solid starting in place of Antoine Caldwell. Caldwell worked into the game at RG at times, but Jones had the better reps and I would be surprised if he isn’t the starting RG from this point forward. In the 4th quarter, the Texans played Jones at LG and Caldwell at RG which is important because we could see Jones at LG and Brandon Brooks at RG in the future.
