Katherine’s House

In my fantasy world in my

‘of a certain age ‘ thinking,

in my next house ,

I want this lampshade.


During my vuelta to Houston and then on to Dallas,

I had a chance to help my youngest daughter

do some primping in her already wonderful house.


That lampshade (from Target) was a result of that.

She had the cream ‘bamboo-ish’ chest in her garage,

the white ceramic bamboo lamp in her bedroom,

and we have all collected a pair of those over the top birds.

I brought this black iron Greek key lamp

from my flea market stash.

I LOVE anything Greek key.

This crackled vase was my Mother’s.

It looks great next to the globe

without the stand -

also from my flea market stash.

We had fun creating a gallery wall in her

kitchen

above some gray industrial shelves,

using plates she bought at Anthropologie

(on sale).

These plates are also going to be in my fantasy house.

This turquoise glass dish is from an estate sale,

and I love putting something out of place

in the kitchen, don’t you?

 Truth be told-

there is nothing I love more that loading up

my car with things for my daughters’ houses,

along with my toolbox,

to see if I can be of help.



It is also ‘ refreshing’ when I show them

something I brought

and they say…

‘Ah…no. Thank you though.’



Then I get to bring those cast-offs home

so I can try to slip them in to

offer to another daughter.


See how smart I am?
