Letting Go

This blog was supposed to be about the log house but it’s morphed into a chronicle about the ‘blue’ house. I suppose that’s because the log house is rented and I haven’t had to do much to it since last year. This past week, my sister and I laid a 12 x 12 foot patio at the log house, and I cleaned out the rain gutters. The patio will be a nice place for the renters to hang out, and someday it will be mine to enjoy.

But really, the active news remains about the blue house. I’ve fallen in love with the blue house (I call it ‘blue’ because it had  blue/green siding when I bought it 2 years ago). We finished the remodel last fall, and I’ve been staying there during the week because it’s close to where I work. I’ve fallen in love with the kitchen – it’s got great storage and counter space. I’ve fallen in love with the natural light in the living & dining room. I love the airy-ness and clean lines. I love the colors. I’m sad to have to sell it.

Which doesn’t seem to be happening – it’s been on the market for 7 months. I told myself that if it doesn’t sell by July, I’ll have to do something different, like refinance, rent it out, lower the price …. I don’t know what the right thing is, but something needs to change. Click here to see the listing and photos.
