I can relate ...Wow...you have not had an easy year.<br />I can relate as I had to care for my hubby's invalid mother for two years in our own home, with my health not being the best. But we do what we have to do and plod along.<br />I really like what you did with the bathroom cabinet. It looks really nice. And your mirror collection is lovely.<br />We have lots of American oak antiques, and two homes, one of which is called Laurelwood a reproduction Victorian period home which was in the making for 23 years by a gentleman who passed away five years ago. I do have a few lengthy posts on my blog but you have to 'hunt' for them.<br />I am becoming a follower.<br />Take care!<br />Teresa in California<br />http://amagicalwhimsy.blogspot.com/A Magical Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473478545205572098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452123752628932083.post-88321462181104606512013-09-14T21:30:54.056-05:002013-09-14T21:30:54.056-05:00Hello Robin!

I love this blog hop because its led so many wonderful people to me that I might have missed!<br />Your post was heartfelt, we are kindred sisters indeed.

Sorry to hear about your mum & your health issues. It was so sad to see all of Pap & Grams belongings be sold. I was lucky enough to get most all of my wish list filled & memories to put in my home. I so hope you are better. Lifted a prayer just now. Blessings! <br />Lara A Primitive Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205375008312950661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452123752628932083.post-16633897386083517912013-08-28T08:01:51.533-05:002013-08-28T08:01:51.533-05:00Oh Robin I must say your life sounds much like min...Oh Robin I must say your life sounds much like mine minus the sad part about your mother - I so pray she will find peace in her new living arrangement and you as a family will as well. This has to be the most anguishing decision that children of a parent must make. <br />And to sell her lifes treasures - how heartbreaking. I hope for the most part you are all beyond the sadness that came with the day of the 'sale'.<br />Your new cupboard/dry sink is absolutely gorgeous..in one picture it looks like Oyster Gray but Goldish in the other. No matter...IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL and you added beautiful touches.<br />Bathroom...one of my hardest rooms to 'love'...I just don't know how to decorate one. Yours is looking mighty fine and the mirror collection is a wonderful touch.<br />Health problems in abundance here as well but working through them as you are. Praying you are feeling much better now. And your son too...hope he is doing much much better.<br />Blessings and come for a visit and see what has been happening in my world of late.<br />KarenMy Colonial Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066446310464424766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452123752628932083.post-76930928331103218892013-08-22T09:25:09.871-05:002013-08-22T09:25:09.871-05:00Every time we go home to visit my mother she alway...Every time we go home to visit my mother she always brings up the subject of her death and how she wants us all to sit in each room of the house together and divy up all her things equally without any squabbling and fighting. My heck the woman is just barley in her sixties!!! I know it's a hard thing. I watched it happen with both my grandparents and thier children. I am sorry that was something you had to go through. <br />I was surprised, but not so surprised, to see that your new cupboard and display had been pinned on pinterest about a hundred times just the day after you posted this blog post! It's beautiful. I need to move back east where I can get my hands on some awesome prim items. Idaho is lacking in that department (unless you like antique farm equipment). <br />I hope that your newly found medical history is looking better. I know that having a bad streak in your health can be the most stressful trial ever. It can consume you. <br />Your bathroom is beautiful. Of course:) The mirror collection has my special interest. How wonderful. <br />-Steph-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452123752628932083.post-20993520726499316162013-08-21T19:22:25.847-05:002013-08-21T19:22:25.847-05:00Red headed step child is one of my hubby's fav...Red headed step child is one of my hubby's fav lines.<br /><br />That dry sink is a treasure.

Your bathroom re-do turned out great--love the details with the night light, little box etc. and I always love it when you share photos of your collections.

I remember how hard it was moving my grandmom into my parents' home. I imagine I will be the same, if not worse. Memories are precious.<br /><br />Okay, now I must say, that cabinet rocks! Oh my! And I love the crocks! And an OLM. I need to get one of those guys...<br /><br />And the bathroom- I must say... wee bit envious. My bathroom is beachy for my husband. Quite the transition from the living room to there.<br /><br />Love and hugs, Friend!<br />Heather<br /><br />PS- I noticed the mirror thing too. I just didn't want to say... ;) Love it though.
