It was never my ...Thanks for your feedback Sheila. It was never my intention to be condescending or critical, but rather, sarcastic and funny, and I apologize if it came across otherwise. I'm nowhere near perfect, and I have aired my own dirty laundry (literally) on more than one occasion. The same holds true with the craigslist ads - I laughed at some of what I found on craigslist, and thought others would as well. Thanks again for your comments - I will take them to heart.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495632363525073088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423605013415947841.post-74596847314334910202013-06-28T12:13:19.473-04:002013-06-28T12:13:19.473-04:00That first home is staged so perfectly - no clutte...That first home is staged so perfectly - no clutter or many personal items, and the furniture layout really makes the open floorplan cozy!! I know from getting my mom's house ready to sell, that it's hard to put away things you love and make your home feel homey, to try and sell your house - but it does make a big difference to perspective buyers!Lisa @ Shine Your Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301618725406172528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423605013415947841.post-971408740780695982013-06-28T11:15:26.293-04:002013-06-28T11:15:26.293-04:00Let me start by saying I love your blog. I love ...Let me start by saying I love your blog. I love your home and your style but I've noticed that since you've left the work force and become a "full time" blogger that a lot of your content has become very critical, rude and demeaning of others. I agree that sometimes the pics on Craigslist or what people are trying to sell leave a LOT to be desired as does the "Gallery wall gone bad" home in this post. However it is not becoming to down folks because they don't possess the same sense of style, cleanliness, photo taking abilities or amount of money as one such as yourself. There's no doubt the real estate agent here should have suggested that the home owners put most of their belongings in storage and perhaps done some nice staging before listing but whatever they do or don't do is not at your or my discretion to make fun of or criticize publicly. I agree they have put their dirty laundry out there for all the world to see but I believe it's just better to keep our opinions and criticisms to ourselves, especially in the blog world. Blogging should be a positive, fun and helpful forum. I used to read your blog everyday or whenever a new post was aired because I liked the diy projects, organizational projects and general loveliness of your home and attitude, but I have pretty much stopped reading Evolution of Style because it's just not stylish to down others. PS, in case you are wondering, the home at topic in this comment is not mine nor are any of the crazy craigslist items you've posted about. This is just my way of saying I'm not fond of your recent post material and I hope that changes so I can feel good about reading your blog. Have a great day!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308451204015282108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423605013415947841.post-79845806169846301082013-06-28T10:30:09.713-04:002013-06-28T10:30:09.713-04:00Yikes!

Although, if you're selling your house, places like this just make yours all the more appealing, right?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495632363525073088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423605013415947841.post-91261384924110057512013-06-28T10:19:35.353-04:002013-06-28T10:19:35.353-04:00I also am a real estate stalker, and as we have ou...I also am a real estate stalker, and as we have our house on the market that moved it up a notch. I have seen a house on the market here that has two nude murals painted on the walls. Oh, that's really a house seller!
