The Makeover...

In honor of my last night at Mosshill,
I am finally posting the pictures of our home makeover!
 
After signing on with a new realtor and 
a stager sending us a monstrous to-do list,
we spent a week working NON-STOP to makeover the house.
 
It was hard.
Little did we know that it would be SO worth it!!
 
I took most of these pictures just after
spending 3 hrs at McDonalds
during the one and only showing
that sold our house!
 
Outside project #1: raked leaves
 
Lizzy sleeping amidst the MESS!

Michael took this picture while I was painting the bathroom.
This may have been the 5th or 6th coat (primer + paint!)
 
 
CHAOS!!!!
Notice the new paint color?
 
 
We FINISHED the stager's list!

Put out tons of pinestraw
Pressure washed the walkway
Cut back some bushes near front door

Added flower pots
 
Re-painted porch ceiling and trim
Changed light fixture

Painted door black

Moved rug, got rid of chair
Painted walls
Brought in and staged a bookshelf
 

Painted back of door white
 
Removed all wall hangings and
brought in 1 from office for above fireplace
 

Changed out wood blinds for white ones
Put rug under table

Painted walls

Removed almost everything from countertops

Caulked in a few places
Picked up rugs

Changed out wood blind for white one
Painted (many, many coats to cover orange)
Added wall hanging from living room

Re-painted floors in sunroom and laundry room
Added a bench (Thanks Allison!)
 

Straightened up under carport
 
The work felt way harder than it sounds here.
So thankful I only had to keep it that clean for 1 week!!!!!
 
It looked GOOD!
It SOLD!
 
Oh - and we are actually benefitting from all of this work...
our wall hangings are already gone and the walls are already repaired.
Just looking on the bright side!!!  :)
