Staging

I'm keeping busy this month with trying to get my home ready to sell. All the decluttering, cleaning and staging of the house was suppose to be done by today, but that goal has been wisely pushed back. :-) We still have a ton to do to make our house look presentable.

Thanks to my Mom & Dad, we got drapes for the living room & dining room. My Mom also spent a lot of time making pillows for our window seat while she was here.

Then I continued to keep her busy, making my children scripture bags. They all look so cute, that if I hadn't picked them out myself I wouldn't have imagine that they are made out of place mats.

Brad's Mom and Bryan were also very giving. We got new bedding for our children's beds and new furniture for Seija's room. Although as you can plainly see we still haven't gotten the missing piece for Seija's bed. Poor girl is still sleeping on the floor.

So far, some of the big changes we've made in organizing our furniture are: 1. The boys room is now just Matthias' room,

2. The TV room is now Caleb's room,

3. The formal dining area (which was empty) is now our music area, and

4. The living room is also our TV room.

I've also finished decluttering Caleb's room, Matthias' room, Seija's room, our room, the living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathrooms. I just have the office (which will be a huge progect), the pantry area and bit more of the garage left to do.

Not only have we been organizing our space, we've also been decorating each room to stage it for selling. Staging the house has been my favorite part of this whole thing. I have many projects in the works which I will post as I complete them, but here are some things that are finished.

Our bathroom linens/decor are now in the main bathroom.

Our bathroom got new tiling and than some new decor. I reused a basket I got for Christmas to make the hand towels look nicer.

I made a centerpiece for our coffee table that actually matches the colours of our couch. Since it is an ugly, odd coloured couch I was impressed to find the bowl/decorative balls (thank-you WalMart).

I also made a centerpiece to go with the colour of the drapes in our Kitchen.

I keep hoping to find more time to blog, but life continues to get busier instead.
If any of you know someone wanting to buy a home in San Antonio, give us a call!
