a special wedding gift

i’m heading to my grandparents house tonight to pick up a very special wedding present… two bertoia diamond lounge chairs that my grandparents bought in the 60′s. i was obsessed with them as a child, and that love was validated when i went to design school and fell head over heels with mid-century furniture. i have no doubt that they’ll be well loved in our home!

Lucky you! What a wonderfully special and generous wedding present. I know they’ll be going from one special home to another. Congratulations!

That’s fantastic! How lucky the two of you are!

And what an unbelievable treasure – both stylistically and for the sentimental value of it being something your grandparents have had for so long and that you’ve grown up with!

As everyone else has already said – So. Jealous. :-)
