The Origin of Cheekwood
What is one to do if a singular piece of furniture is too big to fit in one’s home? Build a bigger house, of course! The origin of Cheekwood, as a concept, is traced to a family story involving Mabel Cheek making sure her husband, Leslie Cheek, Sr., kept his word to build a bigger house that could hold a gilt mirror, too tall for their current home in the 1920s. Cheek allegedly told his wife, “I suppose we will have to either sell the mirror or a build a house to fit it in.” After reciting these options, the couple set out to combine their tastes, interests, and family names “Cheek” and “Wood,” the maiden name of Mabel Cheek, into the design of a grand estate, to be called “Cheekwood.”
Must be nice @Bri369 . LOL

You are all welcome. I think DH took over a hundred, He changed the setting from auto to something else and they didn't come out as colorful as they should have. Most of them had one of us in them also so I can't post those. My shear beauty would astound y'all and not everyone can handle it. LOL
