Mom thinking about redecorating

Since my father passes, my mother has been in a bit of a slump.  I guess I should say that she has grieved for a long time.  My sisters and I had a long talk with her about it and I even told her about what I was going to do for her for Valentines day.  I really think all of what we had to say came as a shock to her.  She just didn’t realize it showed I think.

We told her she needed to make some positive changes so she could get on with her life.  Well she popped up and said she would love to get some new furniture.  We all thought that was a wonderful idea.  He said that she has always liked furnishing from Italy or Germany.  Daddy didn’t so they had what he wanted instead of what she liked.  They make some of the prettiest modern furniture and that’s what she was wanting to do, go modern.

I told her about a web site that carried furnishings from Spain and Belgium too.  She loved the thought and went straight to her computer and started shopping.  The best part is that the furniture is 100% guaranteed authentic.  Once we started looking at the furniture, all of us understood what it was Mom liked about furniture from there.  It’s absolutely gorgeous.  The first thing she picked out was a wonderful bed by Ruf Betten.  It is wonderful but sure was a surprise to us that it was something Mom wanted.  I can’t wait until she gets it.  I think Mom’s going to be just fine now.
