It's a big, and emotional, task as anyone who has done this knows. Luckily, my parents took great pride in their house of 30 years and were not pack rats. My Mom tended to throw everything out while my Dad was an archivist at heart. If you want the receipt for pretty much every major (and sometimes minor) purchase, it was filed. He has a notebook on the house - everything that was done, photos from when they bought it (it was dated looking then and was only five years old at the time), and how much he spent on the original renovations such as the new kitchen he designed and installed himself. He also had file folders documenting every other house they owned in their married lives. While they lived here for half their married lives, they actually owned five other homes across Massachusetts, upstate New York and New Jersey before returning to Massachusetts.<br /><br />And so, now along with sorting all the personal bits and bobs (I should call them Dots and Bobs because that was their names) of a lifetime, we're also taking care of all the minor cosmetic things that need doing. This house was their pride and joy and I intend to honor my parents by passing it along to the next family in as good condition as possible. I have contractors here repainting the outside, the bathrooms and installing a new stove and microwave - things of that nature. I took the photo above last week on the one nice day we've had yet this spring because I wanted to capture the fleeting beauty of the magnolia tree. By the time the house is ready to be on the market (end of May likely), the blooms will have dropped. But taking over will be the gorgeous cherry tree on the far right of the photo - which right now barely shows any budding.<br /><br />I've also hired a professional Organizer - Sharon Fisher of Come to Order! - to help me sort through the house, packing, donating, tossing, etc. It's a big job and I knew I couldn't handle it myself. Too often, we, especially women, feel we're supposed to be doing everything without help. Pooh on that, I say! I even had Peapod deliver my groceries this week. Sharon got the job done far faster than I would have on my own and kept me focused on making decisions and moving forward. In a couple of weeks I'll have a bunch of my own stuff and furniture not needed to stage the house moved to storage, a junk removal company come take away that stuff, carpet cleaners, etc, etc. It's a busy time, but it takes a lot to dis-assemble a long life of memories. And it reminds me to own less and treasure what I have more.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6UhclQcYU_8c3AsX1k5YfTVxC1oN2ieyO5E_ilqNEoi_0OxNEULN-oqnVD-L97p6mM9aFtkqBVjqV_VawY2BcmU3Ihz09jXMI3G4GDmfhqS5HvXuqmWzrizubutcmVO5-fnFIbJKX0r4/s1600/IMG_2609.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6UhclQcYU_8c3AsX1k5YfTVxC1oN2ieyO5E_ilqNEoi_0OxNEULN-oqnVD-L97p6mM9aFtkqBVjqV_VawY2BcmU3Ihz09jXMI3G4GDmfhqS5HvXuqmWzrizubutcmVO5-fnFIbJKX0r4/s1600/IMG_2609.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />Speaking of treasures... in RoyRoy news, he had his neuter operation last week. I was supposed to be keeping him in the cone of shame, but hated doing it, so I've been keeping on top of him, even sleeping on the sofa with him to make sure he didn't chew the stitches. They yesterday morning I noticed they were gone. Oops. Brought him to the vet and they said one remained but all looked good. I also got the side-eye for not keeping him more immobilized. So, I bought this inflatable donut that attaches to his collar. I put it on him after dinner last night and he promptly fell asleep. His own personal pillow, I guess. I finally slept the night in my bed and he did so in his crate (well, most of the night anyway). Two more days and the final stitch can come out!

Project Sneak Peek: Cape Cod Beach House

I wanted to share a little peek of a project I've been working on. If you watch Million Dollar Decorators the last couple of weeks, you will have seen Jeffrey Marks do a Nantucket house using all retail furnishings and as it happens, I've been doing the same. This house is on Cape Cod proper, near the National Seashore and Provincetown. The views are spectacular and include marsh, pond, full on ocean and a small harbor. The house was architect designed and built in the 1990s and is very sleek and modern. The kitchen, great room and master suite are the top floor to take advantage of the views, with the rest of the bedrooms on the lower level. The owners plan on using it themselves for vacation time as well as a rental property. Once it's completely furnished and on the rental market I will be able to share final photos, but for now:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvu68s1TifYv3gsIz5h_zup-GPfOhE4nnOcc1Kfea_NrjLBMLJogPmlZCKeSoTwL8X8FJEJ4nVj8bZQQKa_3CRLopL_F3CDAVEEjoIy4D21ivZUjKgll5ONGRikhk9Xl7Be4OQby2vokZ/s1600/IMG_1761.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvu68s1TifYv3gsIz5h_zup-GPfOhE4nnOcc1Kfea_NrjLBMLJogPmlZCKeSoTwL8X8FJEJ4nVj8bZQQKa_3CRLopL_F3CDAVEEjoIy4D21ivZUjKgll5ONGRikhk9Xl7Be4OQby2vokZ/s640/IMG_1761.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br />The prior owners left the sofas and coffee table behind, but they are being replaced.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfx6YcIwrjiOJcTM4cgSeGOGjdRR1akyyx5yCg0TJsA-G4QcPYZ7quPmXchZwZFN80i7Y3SUvcEqpEr0_h4B9d2B19gV8Vw0GX1koJs7x4psazSS16nDZg0ZoRmwXL9lfVef65z4UF5bTR/s1600/IMG_1754.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfx6YcIwrjiOJcTM4cgSeGOGjdRR1akyyx5yCg0TJsA-G4QcPYZ7quPmXchZwZFN80i7Y3SUvcEqpEr0_h4B9d2B19gV8Vw0GX1koJs7x4psazSS16nDZg0ZoRmwXL9lfVef65z4UF5bTR/s640/IMG_1754.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Here are many of the furnishings that have already been purchased and are on site. The plan was to keep everything in a contemporary style to match the architecture of the house while adding in some warm wood touches, natural rugs and a neutral palette inspired by the views outside the window. There are three distinct seating areas in the great room - dining, fireplace sitting, and living room sitting. The television set will be mounted over the fireplace and the seating includes a small sofa plus two large comfy arm chairs on swivels to be able to take in the views as well as the game. The living room area will be for more formal visiting with two large sofas facing one another. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNeBi0jpRZLCasqA3Gp9ocY-tSXTFkuUiT39LHhSEXu91Xg4wcGKpKX6XwJQoJrxE_HYS4yolHF4bepXnQCKRzJsCJWGypVVOaMzvwBrHfHdDJrekvbKDsoDBNDMCEVIriTEE7tQSGkA0W/s1600/Harrison+Furniture+board.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNeBi0jpRZLCasqA3Gp9ocY-tSXTFkuUiT39LHhSEXu91Xg4wcGKpKX6XwJQoJrxE_HYS4yolHF4bepXnQCKRzJsCJWGypVVOaMzvwBrHfHdDJrekvbKDsoDBNDMCEVIriTEE7tQSGkA0W/s640/Harrison+Furniture+board.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><br />And here are my digital renderings: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicQpUbh2TJSgFweAfz8eD876uHWi02PAkadUFVoNLlxUAxNHCuVS2qzfyW5_N8TEFV2yRQi3tLRd6SBz1Ff5WvCSWHeKBRfrUAzTKdfnQmqrMyd4zuzt_Bi93XsfT3Eeq5jp8ehSQxYg1K/s1600/Harrison+LR3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicQpUbh2TJSgFweAfz8eD876uHWi02PAkadUFVoNLlxUAxNHCuVS2qzfyW5_N8TEFV2yRQi3tLRd6SBz1Ff5WvCSWHeKBRfrUAzTKdfnQmqrMyd4zuzt_Bi93XsfT3Eeq5jp8ehSQxYg1K/s640/Harrison+LR3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBMLIJVnZm3BS6J4LpIxoJI4nDf7wJFaH8JGcwkYKxMPExBYWrtyanIavA9dUSk7gDdPGPKkHVtpRrywP5vMzjfhsFDNJj0kKze32MGzCbqykCXfKQ1aQnZLD2yOzRGJVWNQ1SHbvm6tZL/s1600/Harrison+LR5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="473" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBMLIJVnZm3BS6J4LpIxoJI4nDf7wJFaH8JGcwkYKxMPExBYWrtyanIavA9dUSk7gDdPGPKkHVtpRrywP5vMzjfhsFDNJj0kKze32MGzCbqykCXfKQ1aQnZLD2yOzRGJVWNQ1SHbvm6tZL/s640/Harrison+LR5.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvu68s1TifYv3gsIz5h_zup-GPfOhE4nnOcc1Kfea_NrjLBMLJogPmlZCKeSoTwL8X8FJEJ4nVj8bZQQKa_3CRLopL_F3CDAVEEjoIy4D21ivZUjKgll5ONGRikhk9Xl7Be4OQby2vokZ/s1600/IMG_1761.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><br />Many of the finishing touches such as lighting, art and accessories are still to be decided on.
