Home Staging....

BEFORE...notice the dead animals on the walls.
yeah...those animals are gone...replaced with a simple mirror.
this was the Bonus Room BEFORE...an undefined space.
Bonus room AFTER!

So I've been this little business here I call "The Perfect Touch"...here are some before and after pics of the house I did last weekend...the clients worked really hard, but in the end they loved the results of their hard work and so did their realtor! Make sure you use a stager before you try to sell your home--it'll be worth it!

Dani's home

on the porch the day she came home!

I just thought I'd put up some pics of Dani since she is a RM. It has been nice to have her home safe n sound. I missed her more than pie.

We have an RM at our House!

Thursday, April 3rd-
After a sleepless night, we hurriedly made some posters for Danielle, taped them to the outside of the house, tied some helium balloons inside and out, then headed to the Airport. David Scott met us there, and then we just had to wait for Dani to come to us! We all stood there, each of us, anxious, eager, nervoulsy waiting for our daughter and sister to show her face around the corner. Finally, David Scott announces that he sees her! She is walking with a group of folks in front of her, but when her eyes meet mine, both fill with tears as I half-walk half-run to her with balloons in my arms. I just squeezed her tight and inhaled her in. My girl home at last.

That was nearly 3 full days ago...we have talked for hours on end, shopped until we dropped for regular clothing for her, and still aren't done!

I am so full of gratitude for her safety and well-being as she served a mission. She has learned so much and given fully of herself. Her homecoming is this next Sunday. I'm looking forward to that!
