My House is On Sale

My 70's house is on the market. Today is only day #3 and someone has made an appointment to see the house this evening. Past two days, I watched people take brochures outside. I wanted to tell them "Thank you for your interest!" But I also was thinking "What are you doing? This is my house. Get out!" Very strange feeling. Hopeful, scared, excited, sad, and very jumpy.
I thought this is a good time to review how my house has changed over the 2 years. Enjoy BEFORE and AFTER pictures. And....please wish me luck for selling my house during this tough market.

A lot of hard work but it all worth it.

Prime. Prime. Paint. Paint.

Jake...What the heck are you doing?

Nightmare. I've cleaned, primed and painted cabinets all by myself.

Kitchen floor. No more vinyl.
