inner sanctum

I have a buyer for the house! They’re bringing the paperwork over tomorrow to sign, then it will be official. It sold after 36 days, which is not bad in today’s market, and I’m pleased with the price — just a small discount off the asking price. YAY!

In the end, the buyers do not fit my original profile (though there are children) but that’s OK. I think they’ll be happy there.

Next I’ll be turning to the other property I own, a very straightforward two bedroom, two bath condo. I’ll be putting up pics and ideas about how I want to improve that one  soon.

Here’s the last of my detail shots for tonight. Sorry if I clogged your dashboard!

Living room; cloche, thrifted; table, mid-century from my collection; lamp, Target (no longer avilable).

While making one of the bedrooms a nursery fits in with my concept of creating for an imaginary family, I won’t deny that a few of my grandmother fantasies kind of slipped in there.

Picture on right (partially shown), Urban Outfitters; shelf, IKEA; chair, items on shelf, lamp, picture, thrifted (except for the small book, which was mine as a child).

This is in the master bath. Yeah, more dogwood blossoms. You’d better believe I’ll use them as much and as long as I can.

Bottles, IKEA; glass shelf, thrifted.

When people walk into the master bedroom, they give a little “ooh” because they think it is so serene.

Bed and picture, IKEA; sheets, my own; quilt, thrifted.

Here are some detail shots of the house.

This is the perfect time of year to put fresh flowers around. Dogwoods are my favorite tree, by a mile. Their blossoms are so incredibly elegant and graceful.

vase, bowl and mirror are thrifted; table from IKEA.

My house is finally done, and on the market! I’m just real excited. And pleased. And proud. Please have a look at my flickr set.
