Kids Versus Furniture?

August 28th, 2008 by admin

For as long as I could remember I’d planned to have a luxurious home, filled with beautiful, delicate things.

What I didn’t plan was meeting my soul mate at age nineteen and being a mother at twenty.

When we were furnishing our home, we looked at white shag carpeting and grass cloth wall coverings - but we bought multi-colored, stain resistant Berber and waterproof paint.

I lingered over the deep leather sofas and antique armchair, but we took home a bicast leather sofa and sturdy recliner.

Do I miss the plans I made or regret exchanging my elegant plans for practical ones?

Not on your life. One look at my husband relaxing in a recliner, reading to our son and I know exactly what’s important.
