Alicia here. Well, we did it! In less than a month, we managed to sell our home! I wish I had some "before" pictures, but maybe I will find them for a future post. For anyone that has attended one or more of our gatherings, you have watched it change right there with us. (perhaps even following our remodel blog!)We made this house our own. On some levels, we are sad to leave, but we know that this is the right time for us to move on. We moved in together, newly engaged, on December 13, 2007. We move out sometime in September 2014...a family of 4 :)

There is one minor problem with the house selling so fast....we will be homeless for about 6 weeks. Know anyone that has a place for us to rent? 

Here is a look at some pictures our Realtor took...

 I learned something new about myself before we listed the house. I love gardening! I think I did a pretty good job, though you can't see it too well in this picture.
 Just to think that these beautiful hardwoods were once completely covered by glue and carpet makes me cringe! Why cover up something so beautiful?

 The kitchen. We loved designing it. We loved cooking in it. Guests always seemed to gather in it at parties. What I won't miss is constantly running into Phil while both using it.



  To think that the staircase wall was not there once upon a time...Best safety feature we installed! And a perfect location for a clock!

 Wish we had made better use of this 3 season room. But really, in Syracuse, it was more like a 1.5 season room!

 Love our IKEA cabinets!
 One of the things we loved about the house when we bought it was the finished basement. We enjoyed it for a full week before it flooded. It was so much fun to remodel in 2012, we did it again a year later - when I was 36 weeks pregnant. Fun times!


 Our bathroom remodel...more IKEA! Phil and I are just starting to let go of our bitterness that everything we bought to redo this bathroom was 80% off when we went back to IKEA only 3 months later. I am not even sure the bathroom was complete yet when we found this out.

 The girls' rooms. For all those who told us we were crazy to do such bold colors...just wait. We have a whole year to decide what colors will be in the new house!



 When the idea of a new house almost fell through, Phil's first comment was something about redoing the office. SO happy that idea was short lived!


The deck. 
Most guys want a man cave. Not Phil. He wanted a grilling deck.Nothing stopped him from grilling..not even 3 feet of snow!  



Only picture missing is the SOLD sign. When that goes up, I am sure it will be posted here!

Until next time...
