Jackie + Nate,

It was so nice meeting you! I’ve compiled the below notes to give you a punch list ahead of getting your home on the market. It’s such a great home and I think these small tweaks will really help showcase the best parts.

Feel free to reach out with any questions as you’re working through the list.

Thanks!

Kate

Overall

• De-clutter deep clean as much as possible

• Thin out some of the plants

• Remove all evidence of pets including dog bowls, leashes, etc.

• De-personalize by removing personal photos

Office / Dining Space

• If possible, I think it would be really helpful for the photos to show a dining space.

• Disperse some of the plants from the plant corner throughout the house

• Move the trunk to the living room (will serve as a coffee table)

• If the desk remains, swap the chair for the smaller one you mentioned and clear off as many of the items on the desk as possible

• Remove the wall decor from above the desk

Kitchen

• Remove everything from counters with the exception of the Kitchen Aid mixer (move to the corner on the other counter) and a few of the cooking books (right next to the fridge); You can do a few small plants on the counters as well

• Leave the island open

• Clear everything off the top of the fridge (or get aesthetically pleasing containers)

• Remove everything from the front/side of the fridge

• Clean out and organize as much as possible in the cabinets - people will open them!

• Remove the plants from above the cabinets

• Touch up the paint on the door

• Remove the cabinet (next to the bathroom door)

Living Room

• Paint the blue to match the white/neutral color of the other walls

• Remove the smaller rug

• Replace the current coffee table with the trunk from the kitchen

• Remove the cabinet that’s right next to the office door

• Remove everything but 2-3 items on the side table next to the sofa

• Remove all the blankets and pillows with the exception of 2 (to be placed on the right side)

• Remove all but 1-2 plants from the window sill

• Move the record player so you can center the entertainment center and TV on that wall

• Remove the side table that’s next to the chair

• I know the records need special care, but if you’re able to figure out an appropriate storage solution for them, I would recommend removing that bookshelf

• Remove bar

• Pull down all the wall decor and hang 2-3 items on the wall with the banjo and 2-3 items above the TV

• Repair the mailbox slot as planned

Bedroom

• Remove floating shelves and replace with a small collage (2-3 pieces) of art

• Add white duvet you referenced

• Pre-pack as much as possible from the closet

• Remove floating shelves over by the pet cage and remove the wall decor from the wall - I think hanging the mirror on the wall will help make the room feel larger

• Remove the fan

Closet / Office

• Remove the hanging racks and repair walls as necessary

• Move the desk to where the dresser is currently (the dresser should fit well where the hanging racks were previously

• Remove rug
