Cats and Dogs and Other Stuff

Last weekend after Cat Daddy and I had finished making our rounds to open houses and shows, we stopped off at Renee's to see her home and collections. If you are not familiar with Renee, she is the Fab-U-Lous Junk Queen. I think one of these two guys needs no introduction. The other one is Renee's giant schnauzer who was showing Cat Daddy there was room for only one alpha male on Renee's sunporch and it ain't C.D. He is (the dog, not C.D.) a gentle giant. Oh what the heck, they both are. Now let me tell you about Renee and her home. Everybody fusses at her for not posting more. I am starting a drive to get all of you to go to her blog and tell her to start posting photos of all her stuff and by that I mean her collections. Geesh! I can't take you guys anywhere.

I took about a gazillion shots but I'm only showing the sunroom because I want y'all to ride her like a small pony to make her show you the rest of the house. She could do about a hundred posts just on her collections. Each room of her lovely home is layered with some of the best antiques and primitives(Mindy, you would just die)I have seen gathered in one place in a long, long time. It reminded me of why C.D. and I got in this business in the first place. This is not about a "look" or following trends, but following one's own heart and expressing oneself with things truly loved and cherished.

Each piece of furniture, each print, each object is lovingly displayed and placed just so within a jaw dropping rhythm of the room. It isn't placed helter skelter, but planned out to please its audience. In this case, that was me and I gave it a standing ovation.

I know how mean this is of me and I would hate me too, but I really want you to plead with her. Tell her she doesn't have to write a word, just post the pictures so we can all have a good drool.

I hope I have pleaded my case effectively, so if everybody has their trigger finger ready-On your mark, get set, CLICK!
