Expecting the unexpected

I was moving along pretty well with getting the "excess" moved from my apartment into storage when I received a call letting me know my mother had been taken to the hospital. So let's just say my focus has been else where for a bit. Happy to report she is out of the hospital and doing some rehabilitation in a nearby nursing facility for a few weeks and if all goes well she should be back in her home before Christmas.
Now it is time to re-focus and "enjoy", yes, I said, enjoy the process of purging the past! After going back and forth on whether to let go of everything from my past and begin all brand new or to hold on to some of my items... I've chosen to hold on to certain pieces and work around them. Most of the pieces I have purchased through the years, whether they were traditional or modern itmes, are classics and as we all know, "Classic is forever......Trendy is a thing of the past, tomorrow!" I urge my clients to make their purchases based on this philosophy, as well. There is nothing more repulsive than to walk into someone's home and see all of those "Post-modern" design elements that were so BIG a few years ago! Remember when every new home being built had badly proportioned columns everywhere? What in the world were builders thinking?
