I love so many things about this bed. I love that (according to the tag engraved on the back) it was made in Louisville, KY out of Sugar Maple by ______ & Sons Furniture (forgot the name). I love that it was mine as a child and my sister and my brother's too ...and my mom's before that. I love thinking that my Meemaw and Peepaw selected it carefully, thinking of their daughter sleeping in it. I love that Jeremy spent countless hours putting 5 + coats of white paint on it to cover up the (original?) dark stain. I love that it's so sturdy that one day it will probably be fit for my future grandchild to sleep in. And most of all, I love how much that little girl loves sleeping in her bed.
