I received my Hope Chest 3 years ago, and it's cedar, so it smells very nice. It has a pretty design on the front, but is rather simple. I love it very much. It's already collecting many things for my future life and home.
>:>:>:>:>:::<:<:<:<:< You'll want to choose something lovely that will look good in your future home, and hold all of the things that you want to go inside. It will need to b sturdy, as well.
When I get married and empty (for the most part) my chest, I will store things like my children's artwork and special things that they'll want to save in it. And probably a photo album of my wedding day, etc.
I especially like the chest in photo 4, but all of them are lovely. I can't wait to see what you choose. :)
Livvy, Thanks for the tips! I know that I need something very durable, and all of the ones here are well built. One of the tradeoffs of the drawers is that there is less storage room.
Lauren, I think I'm leaning towards the last one. :-)
Jo, I actually haven't been wanting one that long, maybe just a year. When I started thinking about it though I talked to my Dad, and we decided that we would make it together and have it done by my sixteenth birthday....so, no, I'm not ordering one soon. :-)
They're all pretty, but the last is my favorite! I like the drawers as well as the style! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, they're all very sweet!

I like the second one, it looks the most like mine :)
ReplyDeleteAre you going to order one soon? How long have you wanted one?

Okay. My dad and I built mine for my thirteenth birthday (but it wasn't done until right before my fourteenth :) )
ReplyDeleteIf your making it, a little shelf or drawer is nice for some of the smaller special things.

I like the second from the bottom. And the first chest, too.
