Now that the secret’s out, I want to document the prepping to sell process. I probably don’t need to do any of this, but I want to get this house in the best shape of her life to get the most money possible out of her.
A little paint goes a long way, but with all the poking and prodding I’ve done around this house, the least I can do is clean up my mess. So that’s what I’ll be doing in the coming months.
All of these are pretty simple projects. No more tearing down walls or anything. Just fun finishers to make a space *complete* so naturally they are all very unnatural for me. It’s hard to close out on a project and that’s why this list exists!
