I thought it was a brilliant idea and so cool! If I get the house I have on my favorites list and you guys end up in the same place, you'll have to come show me how to make one! Some people just can't see beyond decor. You hear it all the time on tv house shows. "I love the comforter and bed in here!" well it doesn't come with the house! I am sure that once you get a new house, you'll find even neater ways to put your gorgeous personal stamp on it! Hang in there!

We have sold 3 houses and very time I have to remind myself to decluttered and when I'm done, remove even more! What they really want is a brand new house for the cost of an older home and you are right, they have no idea what upgrades cost! <br />Anyway, It sounds like your first week of showings was pretty successful, so fingers crossed for you! You will be in my thoughts :) <br />Karen @ karensuponthehillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596594501333747315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-31298077719665687852015-09-26T23:30:10.269-05:002015-09-26T23:30:10.269-05:00Wow, I loved your decor.

They always say to remove any personalization, family photos, hobbies, etc. It seems there are so many that don't have the "vision" to see the basics of a home or the upgrades. <br /><br />My heart goes out to you and Terry ~ such a process! I do know that God's timing is perfect and sometimes the answers come at the 11th hour. You remain in my prayers!

Many buyers don't have a vision for what they can do with a house. It has to be easy for them to see their stuff there. This is the hard part, trying to live in a place when you're having to let it go in your mind and heart. I know God has a wonderful place for you guys and a great job for your hubby.

We had our home on the market several years ago (we decided then not to sell) but I remember how hard it was for me to remove some of the "stuff"...because I, too, like my"stuff"! You are right, many of the young people looking to buy homes today have been spoiled by watching too much HGTV I think! I don't care for the streamlined look but I guess there are many out there. Good luck in selling and great first week feedback! Have a great weekend!

They say that the younger generation have a hard time seeing past the décor and if it's not their style they can't envision it with their things. Also, they say that they often are so busy looking at the décor that they really don't even seethe home. Hopefully this works. I think it looks great for selling!<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-61522046015140349452015-09-25T19:38:01.132-05:002015-09-25T19:38:01.132-05:00These changes must have been so hard to do, but in...These changes must have been so hard to do, but in the long run, I know it will help with the sale of your home.

The younger kids like sleek lines and simple style, no ruffles and frills. We are planning on listing our house soon to move up to the fox lake/Antioch area, near where you are now. I'm depersonalizing my whole house and packing everything away. Sad as it is, you'll probably need to take down a lot of the pretty things you have displayed. On the plus side, it's only temporary.

It is so clear how much you & your husband love and enjoy it so. I know the frustration of dealing with buyers who are consumed with appearances over quality and value. I went through the same thing when I sold my home two years ago, and mine did not have half of the upgrades yours does. But the right buyers are out there as evidenced by some of the second lookers you have had. I am sure you and Terry will make a cozy loving home wherever you move to. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

I know if we put this place up for sale, I will have to re-stage rooms to their original purpose and empty it out. Probably why we haven't put it up for sale yet lol.

We had to do the same thing every time we moved. Packed my treasures away for a clean slat. Your home is gorgeous and maybe this is God's way of preparing you for the move.

You're right though Kris - it probably WILL help you detach and now you can take those gorgeous doors with you ( instead of someone insisting they stay ! ) It sounds promising that you've had second visits already - hoping this is quick and painless for you ( I mourn every house i leave for a little while ) It's so hard to live in a show house while trying to sell - making sure everything looks perfect every day !

It really is best to accommodate those who do not have the vision to look past décor and envision their own style within the floor plan. My mother and her sister both refused to do such depersonalizing staging when attempting to sell homes...and actually went as far as to lay out decorator mags and books opened to pages with similar styling. My opinion was they were attempting to sway others that they had made good choices (not my likely choices) in their styling....but it was more likely offensive it is application. The spoke to me and my sister on numerous occasions about neutralizing the colors...finally we just bought paint and repainted (against my mother's approval) and the home sold. Too funny that she believes it was market vs the painting, but ultimately we got them moved back to cali on our schedule and we only still have to occasionally here her share with her friends how "rude" her children were in painting the kitchen a warm white vs the lavender and the master bedroom a calming shade of grey vs in your face purple. Your wall color, upgraded appliances, floor plan, lovely floors and amazing (not to obnoxiously) big master bath will sell the home. It is great that buyers have come back for a second look...they are serious buyers and not looky loos...I see a contract in your future soon. Keep you chins up...remember a house is not your home. Home is where those you love live.lilalee at fou fou lulu'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11559256155364657312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-45726268810809595962015-09-23T21:32:29.009-05:002015-09-23T21:32:29.009-05:00Hi Kris! :)

But every time we put our home up for sale I did the exact same thing, took my personality out of it. People buy a house so many times for the décor, it could be a house with no updates (furnace, a/c, roof, you know all the important stuff) and because the home is staged with expensive furniture people are overbidding for it - even though they are not buying the furniture! <br />As someone who loves and appreciates how you decorate I could walk into your home and envision myself there!<br />Good luck with your sale Kris, I am sure it will sell! It's a beautiful home!<br />KimberleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312879348897409277noreply@blogger.com
