What makes a "Storage Trunk" a "Hope Chest"?Handcrafted Sticks storage and hope chests hold meanings as well as materials. Imagine your grandparents filling a wooden trunk preparing for a lengthy voyage to improve their life. Trunks become treasured heirlooms because of the special items placed inside. Picture a young girl dreaming of her future while holding a dress her mother wore.
A storage chest starts out holding and protecting everyday items: blankets, lingerie, summer clothes in winter, winter clothes in summer, sports equipment during off season, baby clothes, photos, memorabilia.
A hope chest starts out carefully filed with items we hope will be treasured and will inspire dreams. These are the items that will be passed on from generation to generation within a family A special dress, table linens, towels, bed linens and quilts, dishware and family mementos.
Filling a Sticks trunk or hope chest for your child or grandchild is in itself a special- The items placed inside a hope chest may have material value - but the history, future, romance and dreams represented by the items will have more value than the pieces ever will.
Whether the items are handmade, specially purchased, family heirlooms or childhood keepsakes, each item has a unique story. It is the story behind each hope chest item that turns a "storage chest" into a "hope chest".
The romance and history of hope chests make these large Sticks trunks a great choice in your home decor. Hope chests and storage chests add beauty, perhaps nostalgia or some mystery to any room where they are found.
