The "Coming Soon" signage finally came a week before listing our home the Friday before last (Friday the 13th!):
This guy said that our house will sell quickly for this area. He puts up a lot of signs so I'm guessing he knows best! :-)I'm glad the purple flowers are still blooming but it's making such a mess!
Our neighbor decided to put up the continuation of the side fence and it's looks quite good! I still have to stain the horizontal fence. Maybe this Sunday, but you can't even tell from here that it isn't stained:
In the meantime, the boys are still doing some Production work. Today, they are being fitted for another TV series:
And they are running down the hallway and I have to tell them to stop being like monkeys. They obviously didn't realize that they are people that actually work in this building!
As per usual, we are by USC campus for dinner. Graham and Charlie love this place. We send them on their own to get their own dessert:
Here's the official flyer for our house. Yikes, this is really happening!
And here is the description our realtor/friend typed up online:
Omg, how are we going to live up to these expectations when people come by to see the house!?? We better get to it!! We decided to move moo-moo cow (our cow hide rug) from the dining area down to the sunken living room. Let's vacuum first:
I'm guessing we are taking turns??!Folding up our massive rug in the sunken living room. Glad I still remember how to fold these things. They are massive and so heavy!
Hmmm, not sure if moo-moo cow looks very good down here:
I did end up having Bob buy a new cheapy one at Ikea. Ha!
Next, time to move our massive King size bed. Glad the boys were able to help out. And I bought these sliders too to go on the bed's feet. Thank goodness they worked like a charm!
I'm glad we had smaller side tables so we could still open up this back door:
Okay, not looking like much at the moment but it will have to - in one week's time. Yikes!!
The next day,... I'm digging through my chocolate (from Mother's Day) for breakfast to get me through the day. LOL!!
And I discover that we have scratched the floor while moving the coffee table around the sunken living room. NOOOOooo...!!!
I don't believe this! More scratches??!
And then, somehow I managed to hurt my thumb. Oh, I was trying to take apart a badminton net:
And who knew that you actually used your thumb in almost everything that you do. Ouch!

The professional house cleaners came by on Monday and wiped the entire place down, including windows. The house is sooooo clean! Graham and Charlie almost didn't recognize it when they walked through the front door when they came home from school. Ha ha!
But it's only Monday and we have to keep the house clean until Open House. That's 5 more days!! Well, here's a preview of what the Master bedroom looked like for Open House. See, it was possible to get it all sorted out!
I bought a couple of mirrors as well to hang on the opposite side of the windows. And my realtor friend liked those too. It's all coming together!! Fingers crossed!
