She Can Decorate With All New Things

Smoothing the quilt she remembered how hard it was to find exactly what she wanted. This pattern was the prettiest of all the king quilts she had looked at that afternoon. It was huge and she liked that.

She had looked at quilt sets for weeks before finding just the right color. The sea-green print was perfect splashed brightly against the pale green walls of the bedroom. She patted one of the pillow shams and congratulated herself on finding just the perfect match for this room.

Three philodendron plants of varying sizes, large on the floor, medium and small on the dresser top looked good. The cherry wood of the new dresser gleamed with furniture wax. She smiled her satisfaction into the mirror in front of her. I love to decorate, she thought to herself.

A pair of gold color Tiffany lamps stood on the matching night tables. There was a wicker basket at the foot of the large sleigh bed. It covered up some of the carvings she loved so much. She went over and moved it into the closet. That was better.

That’s much better she thought as she ran her hand over the carvings of the footboard of the bed. The hardwood floors looked a little bare over in front of the chest of drawers. She walked across the room making a mental note to buy a medium-sized rug.

Opening each drawer, she started to put away her new lingerie. Black, plus some pale greens and pale blues with sheer material were piled neatly in the spaces. She had supplied herself lavishly from a leading lingerie shop at the mall.

Life is sweet since we won the lottery, she mused. Remembering someone griping about how much she would have to pay for taxes, she laughed out loud. So what, there was enough left to generate income for three lifetimes.

Walking over to her computer she opened a browser and took out her credit card. She entered a few bits of information and quickly donated to her two best loved charities. Tomorrow she would look for one more she decided.

The housekeeper came in and asked if she wanted to have a little lunch. She smiled and said yes, maybe a salad. It amused her to think that she paid her housekeeper twice the pay she herself had once earned. She felt generous towards everyone. She was on friendly, first name terms with the nice woman. She refused to be address by anything but her first name. She hated formality and did not want the woman to wear a uniform. She told her that tomorrow she planned to go out and buy a new dining room set.
