Remember this place?

...It seems our old Troutdale home is for sale. It was fun looking at the photos on the realty website. How often do you get a chance to see what someone has done to "your house" after you move out of it? Maybe I am just biased or whatever, but they didn't really do a very good job staging the house to sell it. Here are some things I noticed:

• The clover is back all over the front lawn (don't tell Dan!)
  
• The shrubs in the front need pruning
• roses need to be pruned
• decks need to be stained
• can't even see the gazebo in the back yard as the photo is so dark.
• The photos don't really capture the great qualities of this house. Don't get me started on the ugly chairs!!!
  

It was nice to see that she didn't paint over any of the walls or stenciling that I did. She did add hardwoods which is something I wanted to do, but we never got around to it. I did notice that the curtains were missing in the window near the dining table. After seeing the garage with all the cupboards we installed I was wishing we could have stayed long enough to really enjoy them, but I'm really glad we moved when we did.

Oh, how much easier it was to have less yard to maintain. Looking around this place, our shrubs need to be pruned and the gardens need to be weeded too. Guess it will have to wait for one more week as we are headed to the coast!
