The Heirloom story really started in 1989.
about heirloom
When I was young, I spent an enormous amount of time with both my mother and my grandmother. My mother was an artist in her own right and enjoyed curating items for our home to make it feel storied and beautiful. Similarly, my grandmother had an affinity for antiques, and I loved going treasure hunting with her. Even today, 25 years later, I think of my grandmother when I walk into a vintage shop and smell the old wood and sense the historic atmosphere of untold stories. I attribute my love for vintage, one-of-a-kind finds to her. Without the loving influence of these two incredible women, my eye for home design and artistic creativity would not be what it is today. I'm so grateful to them both for inspiring me to create beautiful spaces for our family. I founded Heirloom in honor of them, in hopes that their faithful devotion to "home" would live on throughout the coming generations.

Brilliant, creative, artistic, and just a tad OCD, Caressa spent much of her child-rearing days making home beautiful and functional for her family, all the while serving as a teacher, coach, and worship leader. Renovating old homes and building new ones, Caressa displayed careful attention to detail over the years as an amateur interior designer. When the budget was limited, she would repaint and recycle old pieces to make them fresh and new again. Her instincts were unmatched, and she would often make design choices that seemed a little off to me at first until they became the mainstream trend shortly thereafter! Caressa's love and devotion for her family continues now as a mother to 3 grown daughters and beloved Gammy to 6 beautiful grandchildren.

Devoted to her family at all costs, Carole spent her working days teaching English to classrooms full of students, only to come home and prepare a hot, Southern-style meal for her family. Home-making was not something she sacrificed just because she worked long hours. Her love of historic homes, Southern architecture, and vintage furniture influenced Jessa greatly as a child. Even now in her 80s, she spends much of her time watching home renovating and decorating shows, still gleaning inspiration from her favorite designers. Hard work, attention to detail, timeless style, and an immense amount of genuine affection for her 2 children, 6 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren are just a few of the wonderful things about her.
