Seriously, a gorgeous home. Love the window seat. Everything looks so soft and restful. <br />I'm in the process of doing the same thing for clients. Empty nesters decided to sell after 26 years in their home. Much de-cluttering, neutralizing and tweaking too. Just depersonalizing -- kind of sad though.
