We live here?

We've been in the process of getting the house ready to sell and while we knew it would take a lot of work we didn't realize how much work that actually meant. Projects that have been lurking for two years suddenly needed to be done in two weeks, if not two days, and let's just say it was pretty daunting, in particular when one of you is entering the eighth month of pregnancy. Rob did some amazing work and between the two of us, the house is in the best shape we could imagine. As the final wafts of ammonia and trim paint leave the house, it's ready and on the market as of tomorrow.

In honor of our little abode and with fingers crossed that it will sell in prompt fashion, you can check out the collection of photos that were taken for the listing. While some of the staging isn't representative of our specific tastes (i.e. my master vision for the baby's room is currently on hold), it looks, and feels, wonderful and spacious.

Side note, living in a staged house is like living in constant fear that you're going to accidentally leave out your generic, non-lifestyle dish soap, bump a towel into disarray and never, ever get that pillow back into its original fluffy/firm ratio. Seriously, we're scared about living in our own house for fear of mess, which is an entirely foreign concept to both Rob and me. On the flip side, it's teaching us to be more thoughtful when we change our clothes, let alone leave the house since it has to be in pristine shape, just in case someone calls to see the house while we run an errand.

Shameless plug - if you know anyone who is looking to buy a great home in one of the best Seattle neighborhoods, have them call or email us.
