You can see more of our girls’ office here!

We’ve gotten a lot of questions over the last week about what furniture we’ll be selling with the house or if we are selling the house furnished. You can read here about why we decided not to sell our home furnished this time around. However, the buyers were interested in purchasing anything that wouldn’t translate to our new house! We made a list of each item, along with a link to where it was from and the discounted price. (We discounted most things 40-50%.) They decided to purchase:

The large entry floor mirror, our canopy bed, both dining tables and the 20 leather dining chairs. The adirondack chairs around the fire pit, the green sofa in the girls’ office, 2 of the swivel chairs in the music room (we wanted to bring 2 with us). The vanity and chair in our closet. The reeded cabinet that is in our office and a few outdoor tools, like our riding mower and 4 wheeler with snow plow.

These things will all be a separate transaction from the house sale. We’ll also be having a big yard sale where we’ll be selling a lot of smaller decor and furnishings later in May! Our home’s inspection is on Monday and word has it they are sending out a cabinet guy to measure the kitchen (which makes me so excited! this house is in good hands!)

What do you think?

    Beautiful room! Did you use Accessible Beige full strength or at 75% like on your trim throughout the house?

  2. Jessica Brown says:

    You won’t need the snow plow in Raleigh. 😂

  3. Carol says:

    All those sandals are so cute, but I can’t wear a one of them! Skinny feet + non-adjustable foot straps = turned ankles. Let’s just say I’ve learned my lesson there.

  4. Lauren says:

    I wonder if the new owners would be willing to send you a picture of the redone kitchen for you to share here. That would be fun to see.

  5. I love those sandals you shared the other day!! They look so comfy, added them to my wishlist!

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
