As the Grok God said, "You can't walk into Galusha and see something special is being done." So it is I glow with all the positivity shown by people visiting the house. Most of them, they see it for the first time, and they get it. The two open houses this weekend helped me put the couple neighbors' criticism in perspective, and to realize how well the elements have come together.
One real estate agent left a showing this morning, shaking his head, "I've got to think of who's worthy of this house." Another potential buyer turned on her heel within ten feet of the door and said, "You read Dwell magazine!" Others, too, just reach for the finishes, some stooping to feel the radiant warmth of the slab floor or to stroke the front of a bamboo cabinet.
Sorry if I'm sounding advertorial (hey everybody: I have a house for sale!), but I'm riding the good feeling. Many friends at the first informal open house Saturday asked if I'd ever believed I'd see the day it was done. And, sure, there's relief; there'll be a whole lot more when an offer's in hand.
In other news, I get so excited looking at the cabinetmaker's plans for Mabel's spaces. It was so fun to imagine the perfect bookbindery, and now here it is, mapped out on paper. I took more photos this morning (and will post them shortly). Some show the bit of landscaping done last week just for the open house.
Landscapers also started putting in trees in back of Galusha. You can see the forest pansy behind Galusha while standing in the Mabel bindery. I love its pretty sherbet-y colored leaves.
