Finally, over the past few weeks, I decided to tackle it.
I have been spending my few hours of free time to work on it {little by little}
Before:
After:
I chose to decoupage it with some old book pages that I had out of a book that was my grandmother's.
Then I stuffed it full of my junk (for now):
I also found these from my grandmother:
Haven't you always wanted to seal one of your letters with wax?! I have! All I need is an awesome seal and I'm all stocked up!
I don't know about you but I LOVE my heritage and finding out new things about my relatives. I have several pieces all over my house that used to be my mother's, grandmother's, and great-grandmother's!
The picture here is my Great Grandma Lois {whom I got my middle name from} and that precious bear is from her.:
I love re-doing furniture and making it new but I also have a strong appreciation for the past!
