Well this week I am feeling really nostalgic, and a little sad if I am being really honest here. My mom’s house, which we lived in for 9 years went on the market this week. My mom recently moved to the city and although we all held on tight to this house, it was ready to move on. None of us live at home anymore, and my mom is loving city life.

But the real reason I am sharing pictures of the house is because I think my mom has the most unbelievable taste and vision of any person I’ve ever known. Best part, shes a therapist, not even a designer. This woman has vision any designer could only dream of. 

She bought this house and my sisters and I hated it. It was awkward and uncomfortable, but she knew it was something special. So after a little bit of construction and a major surface makeover. She made it incredible.

Not only does she have vision, she has timeless vision.

I wish I had taken pictures before the house went on the market because we moved out a ton of the furniture to my mom’s place downtown, so this shows the house “staged”, but it still gives an idea of what a special house it is.
