    Although you are leaving the house unfinished, there are so many things you've done that really improved the house (new roof, expansion, crawl space, etc). Some of those projects are not as visible as a new kitchen, but at least now the new owner doesn't have to worry about the bones of the house.

  • @karenhurd9792

    At least it won't be getting torn down, and it will be loved by the new owner. It IS a cool house!

And you have the most wonderful kids. They help, they’re happy and don’t mind the adventure of your daily lives. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh my goodness! Our faucet fell apart while our house was under contract too! (Among other things suddenly going wrong, it was SUCH a stressful time for us.) We would joke that the house was revolting because we were leaving. 😂
    Such a bummer when you buy something beautiful and find it to not be the quality you were hoping for and expecting.
    I love how cheerful and excited you are about so much of this process!
    It would have been so fun if we had been finishing house projects/packing/cleaning with you last year when we were getting ready to move TO North Carolina. I was on UA-cam trying to find motivation to declutter and pack. Even still, I watching this almost a year after we were doing a lot of this is still a good opportunity to let a lot of those emotions come up and really process them.

    I think it's a neat idea to leave your vision board so to speak in a binder for the new owner. And it would be neat if the new owner sent you pics of the finished kitchen with her vision to see how she finalizes it and/or follows through w your inspiration on the stove top built in etc. Its been a labor of love for your whole family, but so will the next home whatever route you go... fixer upper or move in ready with just the fun of personalizing it with your decor and furnishings. Eager to see where life leads the Knorps from here. Where ever it does, may peace, good health, & blessings follow! Love you all!
