So, I hope everyone hasn't given up on me. It's been a really crazy few months and blogging is something I've just had to leave at the wayside. So, if you haven't heard yet, we have been trying to sell our house these last few months. Nate's been commuting for about 45 minutes to and from work every day (since October) and we know that our future just isn't here in Hurricane.
It's been devastating to us because we love our home and our ward and the community and the proximity to Mom & Dad Douglas. Not to mention the fact that we bought in the boom and are selling in the recession. Yeah. Good timing!
So basically we've been working like crazy to clean-up, clear-out, and make everything nice & shiny. Thanks to everyone that's been helping out with it (TOM!!! CEC!!! DIANE!!! TEHANI!!!). We totally owe our Hurricane crew for watching Lincoln, loaning tools, and donating time.
It's looking so nice that we really don't want to leave now, but as fate would have it we found a buyer for our house so look out Cedar City, HERE WE COME!!!!

Projects include:
Staging the porch with a new chair, plant, doormat, putting lattice over the extra door, repainting the trim, refinishing the exterior doors, replacing the house numbers, and replacing the hardware on the door.
The trim before
The trim after
Power-washing our cement work before & after.I couldn't believe how dark & dingy it really was.
We refinished the the kitchen cabinets & added hardware. The door on the right is the original stain (though most of the doors were more worn & damaged than that one). The door on the left is one that has been stripped & sanded.
I don't have a finished kitchen picture, but the bases have the new stain on them. We did a dark, glossy walnut with brushed silver knobs & pulls.
No pictures, but we also repainted a few rooms, replaced some nasty linoleum, added new window treatments & accessories, and just staged it by clearing out the closets and rearranging our things a little bit. It was a lot of work, but it paid off!
