I can see why your kitchen was featured in a magazine.<br />Yes, selling a house is right up there on the stress level ladder. It drove me crazy when we sold our first house and you couldn't ever let a thing be out of place and not a dish in the sink etc. It was really like putting your whole life on hold until it was sold. Good luck and I am sure it will sell quickly.Delenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267264823175290041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-14557015151067949072009-10-13T00:24:35.451+02:002009-10-13T00:24:35.451+02:00oh dear.....LOL

So sorry I won't see it in person.<br /><br />Your pictures will surely show the best of your home and I bet will be used. But it may be good to see what Canon girl saw through her lens (a different perspective?). Sorry, Pollyanna's creeping into the comments...<br /><br />The sewing projects are lovely. Surely they will go to the new home with new memories to be had.<br /><br />When we left our last house, we did all kinds of projects the realtor had suggested ~ all which were undone by the new owners. Hmph.<br /><br />I think I am going to ask TFM for your massage. We all have the flu here and could really use some TLC.<br /><br />Wish I could tell you the stressful part is over, but you know better, right?

But also because one of my friends who's a professional photographer, back in the day when it was all film, showed up to shoot an architectural <i>commercial</i> job with his 5x7 camera. He usually shoots one shot only on stuff like that because that's all he needs, he's done it a zillion times - and hopefully the photographer who took pictures of your house does also & things will be just fine - but anyway, this just <i>pissed off</i> the folks who had hired him, who told him that well, the girl they hired the last time had a 35mm (which, at that time, indicated you were not all that <i>professional</i> on this type of shoot, unless you had one of those billion dollar tilt-shift lenses) shot <i>tons</i> of pictures, not just one! Which, in turn, pissed off my friend, who just said "right" and packed his stuff back into his car, called me, and we went out to dinner. LOL!<br /><br />:) I'm sure it will all be fine. I hope it's better now?<br /><br />:) Debid smith kaich joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450581639610967780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-42138648120431180842009-10-12T14:40:59.153+02:002009-10-12T14:40:59.153+02:00The next level of stress is when visiting realtors...The next level of stress is when visiting realtors proclaim after touring your house all the flaws and shortcomings of the house as they perceive it. Following that is yet another stress level - when prospective buyers casually remark their views, which invariably seem negative. Subsequent levels of stress include: making changes to the house because someone says it will help sell the place... negotiating with a prospective buyer and finally moving out. <br />We're in house No. 3 and I don't think selling a house ever gets easy.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-15838162769492750612009-10-12T14:37:02.421+02:002009-10-12T14:37:02.421+02:00You have a beautiful house, I just love the colour...You have a beautiful house, I just love the colours they are so bright and cheery.
