The Cedar Chest – An American Classic

by guestpost on July 1, 2009

From the time of the first homesteaders, nearly every house in the country had a cedar chest. Made of a tough, yet attractive wood, a cedar chest required no maintenance and was secure enough to hold all the family’s valuables and keepsakes. This tradition is alive and well today and they make a great addition to any home. While the obvious place for a cedar chest is in the bedroom, why not be a little unconventional and use if in other places, like a study where it can be used to store documents and photos, or even in a sitting room where it can make an interesting conversation piece?
