up-staged

The yard sign came a couple days early and struck fear in the hearts of many...and began the barrage of neighbors to the door.

 

We had carpets installed on a Wednesday and the house hit the market on Thursday with showings to begin Friday at noon.  I was working to stage and prepare until 11:45 so when the first showing showed up an hour early, I had to turn them away.  MeeMee took Ben and Luke for Friday (which was packed with showings) and Saturday (which was day 1 of the open house.)  Although some pics I sent to DeDe and Kacey for the listing were actually old, I wanted to save some pics here of the new carpet and of our tiny tudor 

in her crowning glory.  

The office was NEVER this tidy.

We had finally figured out a possible solution for the basement to allow for a sectional and more seating but didn't stick around to put it into place.

Thanks to Trader Joe's, I had fresh flowers everywhere without breaking the bank.

One of the top five best things about this house was the view to Ben playing while I cooked.  I will REALLY really miss that.

I saw that Kacey had these cute mugs at the open house and requested a couple.  On this day I had both started and ended my day with one.  It's hard to express just how grateful we are to have DeDe and Kacey lead us through this process.  It's been a rollercoaster-and a hi-speed one at that, but thanks to the yesndede team, the end is in sight.
