Last year I spent most of the summer helping my elderly parents get their home and yard cleaned up, repaired and ready to sell so they could move into an assisted living situation. And even though my mother knew she was going to leave her home of twenty-five years, she insisted that everything be as she would want it to be before putting the house on the market and one of those things was choosing new finials for the fence in the front and back of the house because she wanted “something different”.  We looked until we found the Cobblestone Finial for the fence in the back but she wanted something more traditional for the front fence and entry way.

Though I thought the other one would be fine there she found the Coach Lamp Finial and insisted that one was it; and she was right. While most of the rest of the house was a breeze compared to the fight we had about these finials, it turned out looking really great and the house sold rather quickly considering the housing market at the time. When I go to see them they occasionally ask me to drive them by the old house and my mother loves telling the story about how she insisted on those finials and I have to smile…
