Before I show you the pictures, here is the deal with our house. We were able to sell it without putting it on the market! Isn't that awesome??? What a relief!! We are so, so, so grateful.
I honestly do not think our family would have survived multiple showings. And we didn't have to find an agent. Or stage it. Or any of that. Just clean it a few times for the buyers etc and that's it. (And cleaning it a few times for the buyers etc was confirmation that truly our family would not have survived weeks of multiple showings. Nope.) The arrangement has been an answer to prayers--ours and the people buying it. This house is very good at being an answer to prayers. :)
I feel a little weird posting pictures of my house. But I took them so we could remember what it looked like. (And this seems like a logical place to put them.) My hope is that years from now my kids will look at them and say, "Wow, we lived in a clean house." And also I hope they have lots of happy memories, of course.
Oh yeah, there's also a basement...which is very...special. (The first owners had a brother who owned a saw mill: The entire basement is paneled with real cedar. Real cedar! It's like summer camp down there. Or a 70's nightmare. It's pretty awesome. Our kids have spent many many hours playing in the basement. Hooray for basements! How we will miss you in California.)
We close on our house April 8. Then we start the long drive to California...
