When we first bought Eight Brothers inn we had a manager. She told us to not have anything personal that we didn't want destroyed at the inn. I felt like if I had nothing personal there then it wouldn't be... personal! And, living with 9 males my whole life, I'm used to not having deep connection with "things" because they don't last.
The cherry has been treated the same way. And, we have had a personal item go to it's maker in the first year, a beautiful crystal plate with deer on it given many Christmas's ago from my sister. I was bummed but it was a choice to have it there!
Recently I had some hang time while waiting to see my soon to be daughter in law do her wedding dress fitting and I found these Christmas deer and trees 60% off at hobby lobby. Now I have a new memory to think of when I see these!
Would you have personal items at a rental or would that be a hard NO!
