A Beautiful Home
I love to watch the shows on TV where Interior Designers go to a house and make it over. I drool over the huge kitchens, marble counter tops, and hard wood flooring. I love the large whirlpool tubs, and the gorgeous furniture in the houses. The houses with fireplaces are my all time favorites. I am an Interior Designer but my house is not designed in a modern way instead it is trash chic.
My house does not look like the houses on the shows. My house has mismatched, old, scratched, wore out furniture and it is all covered with dog hair. It amazes me where dog hair can hide. I thought when my children grew into adults I would have nice furniture but the Grandchildren and dogs came along. There are not any beautiful candlesticks on my coffee table and no upscale artwork on my walls. The carpet is old and has stains that refuse to come out and the art on the walls are photos of the children and grandchildren.
I try to have a clean, beautiful house, I really do but it does not happen the way I want it to. I bought a new sofa and chair three years ago. Then my son brought home the cutest puppy and there goes the sofa.
No my home is not a magazine home but it is a home and it is filled to the roof with love, and happiness. That beats beautiful any day.
