I wish you the best with your move. You are so very special to me and my daughter. Your strength, prayers and well wishes, lifted us when we were in need.

There are more of us than them out there. I would love to live in your house and I know you will have no problem selling it. I am sorry you are leaving what took you so long to create, but, girl, making a house into a home is what you do best, so anywhere you land will be perfect for you or you have the talent and soul to make it that way. Prayers for you as you choose a different path and just remember that more time with tiny arms around is worth more than all the banks in the world could hold. You know where I am when you need me.

All it takes is for one person to walk through the doors and fall in love with it and it's a done deal! <br />We have been in our new home now for about three weeks. It was tough going through everything but in the long run we are now where we want to be....near family.<br />You have a lovey home and believe me it will happen.<br /><br />hugs<br />sissieSissie's Shabby Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142205878984008123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-22781743296518064762012-10-08T07:34:18.268-07:002012-10-08T07:34:18.268-07:00What a surprise, leaving the lakehouse behind.

But I guess family always wins out, especially if there are grandkids to consider.<br /><br />So you're into "staging" these days, emptying it somewhat to make the spaces seem larger, taking out the personality pieces that others won't relate to. But, there's a plus alright, a neutral, white interior! Great way to start!rjerdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453912819445395042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-8031675236247583062012-10-08T05:39:23.906-07:002012-10-08T05:39:23.906-07:00Oh, I am sad that you are selling that lovely plac...

When I met hubby, he had a deer head on the wall (not his, it was the former owners of the house). Luckily it didn't take too much persuading for him to get rid of it!! I wish you luck selling your home, I bet you have mixed feelings. I know how much work a move is! But being close to your family would be so nice.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819485082242629764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-56141019762572244672012-10-07T18:19:50.348-07:002012-10-07T18:19:50.348-07:00WHAT???!!!

You won't have annnny problems selling it. One thing that we did learn when selling ours was that you should remove any family photos from the rooms (and "dead animals" from the walls). Keep things plain and simple, light and airy. You want to "sell" to the woman of the house. She usually has the final say, you know. hehehe! :)<br /><br />xoxo laurieHeaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-28932109206929491812012-10-07T18:03:49.385-07:002012-10-07T18:03:49.385-07:00Your place is beautiful - don't underestimate ...Your place is beautiful - don't underestimate yourself.
