Hey all!
I'm subbing in since we're hoping (and praying) our house will be ready for market by next week!
I have decluttered quite a bit, but there's always room to improve. I do have a couple of concerns, but hopefully they won't matter too much.
1. We have a baby with a nursery that has lots of stuff, but we use it! The glider, the dress/changing table, the tv (feedings at 3am are tough without something keeping you awake). So hopefully people will understand and be able to look past all of the stuff.
2. One bedroom is an office/workout room. My DH is in grad school and uses the office computer quite frequently. I use the treadmill 5-6 days a week, so I feel justified in leaving the room as it is instead of making it appear like a bedroom. Do you think this will be a huge problem? When I purchased the house the lady had it as an office also (it does have a closet).
3. Paint. The three bedrooms are all painted different colors (the nursery is the most unusual, mint and white stripes). I guess my reasoning behind it is whoever will buy is probably going to repaint anyway (I know I will in our new home regardless if it's neutral tones or not).
We have done some improvements! DH laid new sod in the back, it needed it bad! We also did some landscape improvements in the front in hopes of major curb appeal.
I hope to have some pictures up this weekend or early next week and would love some feed back (honesty can be brutal, I know).
You guys are awesome! Thanks for the tips! I'll be sure to apply them as we finish up this weekend!
Best of luck to everyone on the market!!
