I don’t know how much I’ll manage to type in this post… but I’ll try my best. Ladies, I am pooped with a capital “P!” H and I cleaned our home for the entire weekend, morning, noon and night. I have never cleaned so hard in my entire life. I was full-on wearing rubber gloves, breathing in Kaboom! fumes as I scrubbed my bathroom grout like I’ve never scrubbed before. We cleaned everything…every nook and cranny. It made me realize that I need to clean more often and clean all of those things we tend to forget about.
We also de-cluttered, big time. I will probably remove our picture frames for our listing photos which happen this week. Our storage closet is packed to the max with all of the stuff we de-cluttered…and that’s even with the 7 or so garbage bags we have outside AND the donation bags we made. Thank goodness I’m so good at throwing things away—I know some people have a hard time with this.
Here are some home highlights because I just don’t have the energy to write more!
H added these rocks—it was just plain ol’ mud before
Our new plants…gotta have some curb appeal!
Guest Bathroom details:
Backyard—trimmed and all. We never use it, which is why it’s so bare.
Entryway—Lulu has a pillow bed right at the front door. The green florals are from Target,
white pitcher is from Pottery Barn.

Living room: pillows are from West Elm
Dining area (which we actually used for the first time today in like…2 years)
Desk (West Elm 2 x 2 console desk)
Master bath—H’s side:
My side (excuse the towel) and yes, I got rid of all of my makeup and brushes and they are now hidden away in the side drawers so I have access but they are not sitting out—and I’m loving it and I have no idea why i didn’t do this before. Live and learn!
Master bedroom (florals from Z Gallerie, vase from Marshalls, Tray from West Elm,
Picture frame and coral from Z Gallerie)

Bed is from West Elm, duvet is West Elm parachute duvet cover,
purple satin pillow is West Elm

That’s all for tonight! More to come on the house soon! In the meantime, if you’ll please send well wishes our way for selling our home, we would appreciate it!
xoxo,
Veronika.

Looks great! So clean and fresh. Are you going to post the listing once it's on the market? I'm sure your Houston readers (cough, me, cough)would be interested in sneaking a peek at it. (Especially if it's in the right neighborhood.)
Raquel says

It is really beautiful!! I know having good taste goes a long way with selling a home so you should have no problem at all. It looks great!
Kristen says
Looks great Veronica! Very clean so hopefully it's an easy sell for you! 🙂
We're house hunting at the moment so the homes that have been speaking to me are the ones that are sort of laid out likes yours is, with the clean but open decor and space. I love it!

Wow, I would grab it the moment I see your house! Love all the furnishings and the details…well done!

It looks beautiful. Great job. I don't think I weighed in on the other post. I prefer not seeing any photos of the homeowners. It makes me more able to envision myself in the place. I'm glad we don't know what the previous homeowner looks like because we curse him from time to time over some of the 'improvements' he made. *lol*
Courtney says
Best of luck for a quick sale! 🙂
Jennifer says
Your home is gorgeous and I think it will sell very quickly!
Fabulous Fashion Finds says
Beautiful, I don't think you will have problem selling it. I find that houses in the upper $300k to upper $400k in Texas take lots longer to sell than if the house is mid range like in $200k for Texan buyers. A nice clean decorated house would def attract more potential buyers. Good luck.
Lilly's Style says
Looks great Veronika! It definitely makes the house more appealing for buyers when it's clean and nicely decorated.
Lindsey says
It looks great Veronika! Good luck…I'm sending positive vibes your way!

Looks fabulous! My husband and I are currently on the market for our own little nest and the biggest problem we keep coming across is where to put our computer/work desk station. We don't want it in another bedroom b/c then we would be separated in the evenings when I'm watching tv and he's on the internet. Anyways, this is all to say that your desk/couch/living room set-up is great!
Would you mind taking another picture of your living room so I could see how it looks in the big picture? I would SO appreciate it, thanks!
[email protected] says
pamela—I will post the professional photos that are taken since they'll be much better than mine! I have a hard time taking photos of the entire space since it's so open-concept
Ana says
fantastic house. I too would love a link to the posting once you post.
PS – is the flower arrangement fresh in the living room? Thnx.
[email protected] says
ana—no the flowers are fake 🙂
I am not posting the listing on my blog for provacy reasons but if you are interested in the home you may email me for the listing link 🙂
thank you!
Ana says
so about the flowers, I adore them. Do you mind sharing where they are from? You have impeccable taste. -A
[email protected] says
thanks ana 🙂 the pink ones on my desk are from a wholesale type store…i forget the name because i got them over 2 yrs ago before our wedding—my wedding planner got me in since it is not open to the general public (you have to be an event planner or company). The hydrangeas on my coffee table are from Crate & Barrel 🙂
Anna Saccone says
Wow – just wow!! Your home is beyond beautiful! xoxo
[email protected] says
thanks anna 🙂 we can't wait to start decorating a new home when we sell ours!

Kelly says
Love your decorating! I want to decorate my future home like this! I'm sure your lovely home will be sold in no time 🙂
Colleen says
V is your current home a townhome? Is it an end unit? Are you looking for a single family home? Just curious! You guys did an amazing job with it 🙂
[email protected] says
Colleen it is a townhome but it's detached and has a larger backyard!
Colleen says

Laura says
Hey there…I'm an occasional follower and wanted to compliment you on how great the house is looking!
If you don't mind, I'd love to know where you purchased the hutch piece in your dining room – it is exactly what we've been looking for at the inn where I work.
Thank you and best of luck selling!

@laura—it is a family piece—it was my hudband's grandmother's passed down to my MIL and then we had it refinished.
Laura says
Thanks for the response…it is beautiful!

Love it! This is exactly how I want to decorate my apartment. Where did you get your bedroom dresser? I have been on the hunt for a cute set and I haven't found one that I liked. This is exactly what I am looking for.
shae says
What color paint did you use in your bedroom, living area and dining room?!
Thanks! 🙂
