Shades of gray and more!

We have officially decided to put our house on the market...yay! It is a little stressful but at the same time we are very excited about what the future holds. We were very blessed to have friends who were builders and were willing to build us our first home! We have been meeting with realtors in the Chattanooga area to decide who we wanted to go with. We feel very comfortable with our decision. Before it can actually be listed on the MLS, there are a few projects that need to be completed.

Project #1- Painting

{Exhibit A}

We really wanted to stay in the gray family. Who knew how many shades of gray there are.....you have to decide whether you want a gray/brown, gray/blue, etc. To be honest, after looking at so many paint swatches, I am beginning to wonder if there even is such a thing as gray?!?! And the finalist are pictured below. The rooms we are considering painting are the mudroom, guest bathroom, and guest bedroom since they are this teal/aqua color below. Obviously, it didn't look like that on the paint swatch :) So, you live and learn. Now we have bought samples of the paint and painted our own swatches so we can better visualize the color in our lighting.

Project #2- Bathroom Remodel 

The Powder Room downstairs is going to be converted into a full bathroom

The guys came this weekend and took out the toilet and the vanity. Plumber is coming this week! We picked out tile for the shower this weekend. So, hopefully this little project will be done in a few weeks!

Project #3- Staging

We are trying to finish hanging curtains and getting the house staged so that a potential buyer can better visualize and hopefully decide they have to make an offer :). We went to our first antique auction last weekend. It was SO entertaining! We came home with this coffee table which was an absolute steal! We had been looking at a very similar table which retailed for more than $1,000. Our winning bid was $90!

Until next time on Designed to Sell, where hopefully we will have a For Sale sign in the front yard!
