A home emits a welcoming and cared-for feeling that is inviting.<br /><br />Kudos to you for all the thought, work and wise choices you have made over the last year in making it so!<br /><br />((hugs))Cinderellahttp://www.cinderella11pm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-77546084988310775882011-12-19T21:24:50.209-05:002011-12-19T21:24:50.209-05:00Cinderella, you do seem to understand how challeng...Cinderella, you do seem to understand how challenging this is. <br /><br />In this part of the country, the weather in January is horrid (and frigid). February is just as bad. March is unpredictable. Houses usually go on the market April 1. I will be aiming for March 1, however, which is the date I put it on the market in 2011. <br /><br />By then I will have replaced floors, painted walls, had the grout in the shower re-done, renovated the kitchen and had the house professionally cleaned. Then we'll see what happens. <br /><br />I am becoming confident that my house is a real treasure. Buyers may sense that as well. If they don't, then I'll stay here. Somehow I'd have to get over disliking having to drive so far to work downtown, or at least make the best of it. As we enter the treacherous driving season, I dread the driving more than you can imagine. The bus is not a real option because I work nights a lot, and it wouldn't be safe walking from the bus to my house late at night.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BettyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-1624643341680623022011-12-19T18:03:06.708-05:002011-12-19T18:03:06.708-05:00Dear Betty,
My enormous empathy with what you are ...Dear Betty,<br />My enormous empathy with what you are going through with the renovation. <br /><br />It is definitely an nerve-wracking time, and I commend you for not having a nervous breakdown on top of getting a cold!<br /><br />Having your space, privacy, quiet, convenience and organization (cabinets) invaded is beyond hard.<br /><br />Hugs to you for your fortitude, and finding a silver lining in the renovator whistling while he works.<br /><br />The newly painted soft yellow bedroom looks VERY good, especially in combination with the tones of the wood around the windows and doors. <br /><br />I am touched that it seemed to be an idea that you were willing ot try - and that you are so happy with the result.<br /><br />Hopefully, all will be finished soon - and I pray that an offer comes in with the new year.<br /><br />Wishing you and the Child a Merry Christmas together.<br /><br /><br />xoxox,Cinderellahttp://www.cinderella11pm.comnoreply@blogger.com
