That's a lot of brass and go...WOW...just...WOW! That's a lot of brass and gold!! I'm with Bridgette as well, it is YOUR house, after all. Maybe decorate your Mom's spaces with some of her stuff, to make her comfortable. Ask if she'd mind you 'updating' some of the pieces you like, and get rid of the rest. (by the way, that crystal/brass light would be AWESOME painted a bright shiny red...)If she doesn't understand getting rid of some stuff, show her pictures of things you like and want in your home, maybe show her pinterest pictures, or magazines. I think if she gets to bring along her most favorite stuff she'll probably be ok with it...<br />The brass deer are nice for Christmas decorations...just sayin...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533202583019137090.post-34958050186818855932012-01-24T16:11:16.068-08:002012-01-24T16:11:16.068-08:00You have a big challenge on your hands but I have...You have a big challenge on your hands but I have to agree with Brigitte it is your home. You decorate it based on your family's style. I would suggest having an estate sale to get rid of some of mom's things...but look at what she does have and see if you can tweak them some (look at them with different eyes)....lots of gold there but white paint works miracles! or any color paint for that matter. Your new home is lovely and I hope you get there soon....just have fun!! I completely understand about the blog thing too...i get so stressed out over it sometimes whether I am being read or followed I make myself nuts...and it shouldn't be about that...we can work on it together!!Tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02279587930777343927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533202583019137090.post-56207429062840544102012-01-24T15:34:13.322-08:002012-01-24T15:34:13.322-08:00I can also relate about the blogging thing...I can...I can also relate about the blogging thing...I can't wait to see what come up with!

I have been at it just a month and have noticed it, and kind of feel the same. I think that's what makes us human, the competitive spirit. We were raised that way! Lori, I really enjoy reading your blog, and it's one of the few I do make sure and have time to. Your stories are so familiar! Except I am not going to ever get to move back home and leave California...ever. But I'm making lemonade!! Your Mom sounds like mine exempt she has better taste...and the reason she is living with my brother is because I wouldn't let her decorate my house LOL. Seriously though, I think it's your home, and you should be decorating it. Moms had their turn. It's important we have our turn at the helm, and when it's our time to stay with our children, then they get to make those design choices. But that's just my little ole opinion...my gosh I am chatty today. anyway..loved reading the latest installment!Brigitte @ Evolution of a homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296619239470622776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533202583019137090.post-2375877333566594602012-01-23T19:27:50.506-08:002012-01-23T19:27:50.506-08:00Lori - you do have a challenge on your hands to in...Lori - you do have a challenge on your hands to incorporate everyone's style! I will be interested to see how it goes. I can totally relate to wanting to be the best at blogging - it's funny because the more relaxed about it I become - the more followers I seem to have...hmmmm.<br />Hugs, PeggyPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15691608070742213911noreply@blogger.com
