Part of my reason for the blog is to express myself in an other wise unexpressable life. . So I created my heading of a bungalow home I would love. And decorated a kitchen a long bunch of posts back and now I believe I will decorate either the family room or the bedroom.
See I have found life to be ummm confusing at times. Especially when I avoid confrontation. Plus I have teeny tiny paycheck right now so this is the best place for me to do this exp ression of self. Many of the pieces I inherited from my mother's "collection" which she inherited or bought at a garage sell, are dear to me. but honestly some are not.
This particular piece is not. She inherited it from her mother when she died in 1960 something. MANY MANY teenagers, dogs, cats, old people...have sat on this couch and it has held up so nicely. It is in my "formal" living room (my mother always thought I would love having one but I DO NOT) I am looking at selling this, and my mother's spirit said it was ok.
This was my GRANDFATHERS stroller. I sat in once when i was 8 Months old! in 1958 and since then it has simply been a guarded piece in my house. Again it is in my "formal" living room which really does look like a museum room. Filled with dead people pictures and dead people furniture. (No disrespect, I loved those old dead people when they were alive)
and lastly My grandfathers desk. Again it is excellent condition but all I do is guard it. I have discussed with my sister (the power that be) and my kids and told them I wanted to sell these pieces and everyone is alright with the idea.
If anyone has a good idea on how to decide price on these pieces beside the roadside show LOL I am open to suggestions. Then I will use the money to fix my family room or my kitchen or my bedroom. Any three of those rooms are used soooo much that it would make my mother happy if I did it.
Nother long day ... thankful for the work though...pedicure in my weekend plans
