Redecorating My House

Since Mom died, I am redecorating my house. I moved in her stand up jewelry box. I had one of my own. Now, I have two. I moved in the small jewelry box Dad sent from Vietnam.

We moved in Mom's China Hutch. She had some beautiful China I kept and decorated with. I added some other items of pretty dishes I have.

I was going to move in her recliner but my husband and his brother couldn't get it up the stairs. We bought a nice big recliner that is power activated. It is nice. My husband has one I had been using. Now, I have my own. I needed a table so we moved in Mom's small table. I can put my phone on it, my Devotions Books, journal and coaster. My living room has nice furniture but now I added more. It adds elegance. I added a brown glass table for Dad's treasures of when he was in Vietnam. It sits in my room edition. I have Mom's Bibles and a small candle I bought for her on my book shelf. I will always remember Mom and Dad and love them. I have a couple of afghans that Mom made. One is pink and white and the other is blue and red. Mom lives on in my decorations.

I try to heal and have memories of her and Dad and all the pictures she saved. I hope to be happy and go on.it is hard. I do love my furniture and decorations and Mom would love how I rearranged my furniture and her items I bought home.
