Hi Kimmeeeeeeeeeee!Nice to hear from you! You had to move AGAIN, after all that work?! Has your husband heard of skyping?!

!Before we move on, I just want to pay a short tribute to the house past.......... The buffet looks great with the treatment! Did you do a marbelized effect on the top?The new furniture you got, and how it remained a cottage/loft feel with the white wood trim on the chairs, and the bun feet. Very pretty. I'm glad you stayed true to your aesthetic and didn't get seduced into filling it up with big ole Texas style furnishings, which I love, too, but I just didn't see the use of saddles, or mounted steer horns in your future, but I do recall you are a native Idahooian? :)...............

I think your new bedroom is pretty, of course! It's hard not to be, when the things you acquire are all so pretty!Looks like others have suggested some lightness, haven't had time to read through.

Could you use that buffet that we suffered over, with the dresser in your room? Would it go with the dresser?I think the wardrobe is kind of the focal point, BECAUSE it is a bit lonely as the beautiful .wood piece, and not quite large, or tall enough for that wall.If it houses a TV, could you remove it, and put the wardrobe on the wall where the dresser is, and maybe add the painting above the wardrobe, if it fit?

I see what you were going for, mixing heavy with light to balance the armoire. I think if the painting works above the armoire, it would make it look bigger, and more important. And it would free up the space that was between it and the bed, which makes the bed look a little squeezed and the two together a bit heavy.

Then possibly a flat screen above the dresser, or the buffet if it works?

Where is the bedding you had on the bed in your last house? I think it needs to have more floral, maybe drapes, rug, move the nightstands a bit farther, with drapes, like you had them spaced before. And use one or both of the beautiful chairs you had in your last bedroom. Would one or both fit? And a light floral area rug, perhaps?

Cant wait to see what you come up with, my dear. PS Just call me SM!

My mom, who will be 95 in March is still with me, and we moved to a small but lovely retirement apartment, where meals are served in the dining room. It's hilarious, I am the only person under about 85, and I don't mind saying, I'm the hottest thing on the block.

However, when my mom got a small abscess in her mouth, she had to be taken away in an ambulance, because she doesn't walk.
I tried to sneak her out the side door at night to avoid the crowds,
But, OH, NO!!

One of my new friends, Miss Tilley, ( no, I'm not kidding) a little 80 year old from Alabama, 20 pounds, uses a custom pink walker, (which she is soon trading in for a custom pink scooter) has a 38 in her nightstand, and is certain any 6' 5' guy would know "he'd been messed with" if she ever had to use her judo training..................told me the talk at breakfast was that it was I, YES, ME, who was the one being carted out the night before!! I'm the ONLY person living with a 95 yo where the masses would assume they were taking me away, and not her! :) :)
