Brownlee House On the Market for Sale!

Linda & Michael's house is listed for at $975,000--fabulous location just off Quaker Lane, spacious with two porches! See more photos at http://www.ritamcr.com/

As with most families who have lived in a house for lots of years, it takes a lot of time and hard work to prepare a home for sale. One of the hardest things is decluttering and going through a lifetime of "stuff".

"Jan the Decorator" (as all my friends call her) was instrumental in staging the main level. We moved furniture, edited out lots of books, went shopping at Home Goods and Pier 1 for more accessories, spray painted the old chaise to match the other wicker chairs, raided my house for extra supplies. Jan is a genius at arranging bookshelves, and she did a great job in the living room and family room.

Above you will see my friend Verna from North Carolina adding those plants at the front door. I couldn't have gotten them in my car without her help. It takes a village!

Linda's house coming on the market soon!

Linda & Michael's house is coming on the market soon. The house has been painted a warmer color, and the yard had a spring clean-up yesterday. It will be priced in the $900K's. It's a great location just off Quaker Lane, and there is so much space on three finished levels (garage in the back). Spread the word!

Trip to Leesburg

This is a photo of one of my favorite shops in Leesburg, The Cottage. I was looking for a vanity for my bedroom renovation project, and I found one. I loved the desk at the top of page, but it was too large. Vanity at top was smaller and just right for my room. It's such a cute shop--a must see if you are out that way.
