Hand-me-down kids

We often joke that everything in our house was a hand-me-down. You may think we're kidding, but we're really not.

And, we're not embarrassed. Just really thankful.

So, I thought it would be humorous to take an inventory of things that were hand-me-downs.

The Dining Room:

Table and chairs and the lovely grandfather clock were my parents'. My favorite rug of all time was Ryan's parents'.The pretty corner hutch (that may or may not be painted in the near future) is from my parents.

The hutch was part of the set from my parents.

The Living Room:

The couch, chair, ottoman, run and end table are all from Ryan's parents. (I know, we are spoiled.)
The TV chest was from my parents... and also made by my dad. The photo is pretty terrible, but it's a great piece of furniture.
And, here's a close-up of the lovely end table. It's adorable.

The Office:

The sofa sleeper and rug were both given to us from Ryan's parents.

The shelves were also from Ryan's parents... and so were the wreaths.

And, the pretty little lamp was given to us from Ryan's aunt

The Kitchen:

Darn... I don't have a picture of the lovely round rug we received from Ryan's parents. (You would think they are going rug-less... but they aren't.)

Upstairs:

This charming mirror is from my parents.

And, the carpet. It's also a hand-me-down from Ryan's parents. Haha... not many people can say their carpet is hand-me-down. But, it is dang nice carpeting. We've gotten lots of compliments on this carpet. It's always fun to see people's reaction when we tell them where it's from.

And, don't forget outside:

The umbrella was from my aunt and uncle, 2 of the chairs were from my grandpa and two were from Ryan's parents.

So, do you believe us now? I'm sure we've missed something... but we have been very blessed to be given so many wonderful things.

What about you? Are you hand-me-down kids?
