When we unloaded daughter & SIL’s things into the storage unit here, there were a few things I decided to keep at my house….to make more room in storage! HA HA! Or maybe for me to selfishly and shamelessly enjoy! Some of the things bring back great memories when she and I shopped for furniture for her apartment. In the fall of 2007, on one of my many wedding planning trips to Shreveport, we were at a Haverty’s one day, I bought her a bed that looks similar to this. She loves coastal, beachy things.
Then she fell in love with this adorable potting bench, in shades of greens and turquoises. She used it in her dinning area as a serving piece. I always loved it and thought it would look cute in my kitchen. So here it is…
I piled it up with garden type items from all over my house….
It works perfect for all my orchids that are past blooming. They look ridiculous in their off season, but somehow seem right at home on this bench.
brought in this caladium that I never got around to planting…
Cut some hydrangeas to hang and dry…
cut lots of crepe myrtle blooms….
added scattered vases…
and I have a beautiful new addition to the kitchen. And I think of you, Liz and David, every time I look at the potting bench.

how cute.love it-)
That looks wonderful and fits perfectly in that spot! What a great daily reminder of your daughter and SIL. I am still so saddened by what has happened to them, and read your daughter's blog from time to time. They both seem to be doing amazingly well under the circumstances. A great attitude is probably the most important step in the healing process. I pray for them a lot!
I would want my Mom to do the same!! Someday it'll all be back in their home...
Your summer seting is just lovely. My prayers continue for your family.
