I love it. It's not pretentious, it looks like a real home, and it's cozy and inviting.

A Buddhist monk told me that she takes a bucket and fills it full of ant goodies (a mixture of peanut butter and honey, I think it was) and puts it on its side. She then gradually leads them outside by moving the bucket. It may take the patience of a monk, but she said it works! I'm assuming she didn't have a pet either that would get in the bucket.

annabananarama, it's hard to get some people to sit still, even if it's for their own good! If she has a laptop computer or some computerized games, that might help. Maybe new DVD's? I got into crafts when I was laid up, like origami and latch-hook (remember those?), crochet, etc. You could learn something like that together.

Getting food delivered makes life easier, as Bee T. can attest to. Offering to run errands, or showing them how they can get groceries delivered online. Maybe give them snacks that don't need to be refrigerated, so they don't have to get up so often.

Love this place! If only all grannies were so chic! This is the kind of look I like best, one that says you have creativity and know how to thrift. It looks amazing and doesn't cost a fortune. I'm way more impressed when someone can pull this off, it's easy (well, if you've got the money) to just go out and buy stuff and arrange it.

The gray living room looks straight out of the "Mad Men" tv set. So cool!

I can't get over the awesomeness and oddness of the chandelier on the lucite boxes. Does the chandelier work? If so, how does that look? I think it would make some crazy shadows and stuff with the lucite boxes and all.
