Notice something different?
(Don't you guys love it when your wife asks you a question like this? Nothing will freeze you in your tracks faster, because of course the real answer is, "No, but if you'll give me a minute to look around and think about it I might be able to come up with something." Guessing is a pretty dangerous undertaking though.)
We're in the process of making our house ready to put up for sale. Of course we still have no idea when it will actually go up for sale. Too many steps in the puzzle have to happen before we get there. Those of you who've been here before will recognize that we tore out the two cabinets over the peninsula. There's still some finish work to be done, but this is close to what it will look like. Definitely more open.
Funny thing about selling a house. That seems to be the time where you're supposed to fix and upgrade all of the shortcomings. I don't get it. We've been living here for years and it's been fine, but now that we're thinking of putting it up for sale we have to spend thousands of dollars upgrading things. Why wouldn't we have done this stuff before...so WE could enjoy it? It's like company is coming over and we have to suddenly clean up and fix everything.
Whatever. I go along because the prevailing opinions of the experts is to do this stuff. New countertops are next.
I decided a couple of years ago that cleaning before a party was just ignorant. Not to say that we don't do it but it really is silly to get everything looking "just so" in order for people to come in and mess it all up. So, in the future, if you are at my house and you look under the bed...you will probably see dust balls!
