I remember these wicker chairs sitting on my paternal grandparents screened in porch in the late 1950s. My parents used them in their homes in Ohio and Florida. And now I have them. My Mom had the table custom made in the late 1960s to place the marble top on it (also passed down from my paternal grandparents). My paternal grandfather made the base of the lamp from cypress wood he collected from the Florida swamps in the late 1950s. I wouldn't replace a single item and love each and everyone.

You really did a wonderful job. The chairs and the memories...precious. Glad there are a bunch of us ol' sentimental fools around.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to have so many heirlooms. It's not their monetary value that counts but the memories and stories they have to tell.
ReplyDeleteI think this is truly lovely very vintage feel and the colors are wonderful
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! It adds such wonderful comfort and color to the room!
ReplyDeleteVery good idea. I made an afghan with granny squares when I was a teenager. It got stolen when someone broke into our house and took a lot of things back in the 1970s. (I made it in the 50s). Every time I see those squares I wonder where mine are now. I enjoyed your pictures.

ReplyDeleteThis turned out so pretty, Sandy! I love the print on your couch (?) too. At least I think that's a couch. Maybe it's a chair. Anyway, I like it! (The tiny floral print)
