When Breann suggested that I sell the French Provincial bedroom set, I said, "Sure, great idea." It would give me extra money for Christmas gifts, improvements to the apartment or I could put it toward central air. I took the pictures and Dad down loaded them, but I just couldn't do it.
Growing up I had hand-me-down furniture, ugly. After I started working and had the money to get this set, it was really for me. I fell in love with it at the store and would do anything to buy it. So we did, for $1400. I was in heaven. Although it probably wasn't what you gals wanted, it was still very classy and made it all worth it.
To part with it is hard, but I know another little set of sisters can enjoy it for their mother, too. I keep thinking in five years your little girls will come stay overnight with us and I can say, "Your moms slept in these very beds." It's okay, we will have them sleep in our room on the old ugly twin matching pads instead, with fancy blankets. It will be just as fun because we are together, which is most important.
