My brand new desk arrived today & I am absolutely in love with it. It was custom made for me by Eric Lee out of wood that was recycled from a plantation referred to as “The Big House” in Jackson, Georgia. The home was originally built in 1833 using wood that was 150 to 200 years old, meaning that the trees started growing in the late 1600s.

My new desk has a very old story behind it. I love that they were able to find such a wonderful purpose for this “discarded” wood that has heard so many conversations and had so many people tread upon it over the years. I think it makes it pretty darn special.
