Decorating therapy is like chicken soup for the homeowner's soul. I learned this in Mrs. W's hospital room. I received a telephone call from Mrs. W. She said that she broke her hip but it was okay to move our appointment to the hospital. This was a first but who was I to argue with one of my favorite clients.
I lugged the swatches and photos to the fourth floor and was greeted by an ailing but determined LOL (little ol' lady). I saw her pain- and her bare derriere - as she moved from the wheelchair to her bed, but still she was determined. I admired her spunk as she unrelentingly planned for her future. She saw her future through the renovations we were planning not the months of physical therapy ahead of her.
There it was! I discovered the true meaning of decorating therapy as I left the hospital LOL (laughing out loud). Thank you, Mrs. W. and all my clients, for all the things I've learned from you.
