Brandon and I are busy preparing for our first open house today. We got most everything cleaned and looking pretty good yesterday, but this morning we’re going to work on the finishing touches. I’m really going to try to set the scene – fresh cut flowers on the table, the aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies lingering in the air, fresh linens hanging in the bathroom.

Even if it doesn’t bring out bids, it should at least make people realize this is a well-cared for, loved house … because we really do love this place. In fact, if it had a basement, we’d just stay put! Trust me, I’ve seen what else if available out there, and I know our place has way more going for it than lots of the other places that are comparatively priced – great space, great curb appeal, updated interior.
