I am not sure if my listings have just been priced right or if it is just the busy summer season that is responsible for all my houses selling so quickly! Do I dare take the credit? My last five listings have all sold between 4 hours and 3 weeks - one of these listings is the Rockcliff house, listed with Kathleen Bucher for $3.5 million on Lake Austin. It is not uncommon for homes in this range to sit and wait for the right and qualified buyer for months or even years, so this quick sale was truly extraordinary! I did the consultation on the main home and provided a rug for the formal living room and complete furnishings for the guest quarters. Here are some of the photos below:

The house on Bunny Run listed with Megan Gattis also sold for over asking in the first week with multiple offers! I was able to quickly move the furnishings out and into a new listing with Tammy Young in Hyde Park. This is a darling little cottage/bungalow with loads of charm. I just changed the dining room furniture out from the larger scaled Bunny Run table to a neat little farm table I got at The Khazana and metal farm chairs from Four Hands Home. I love the eclectic set up in this home.

You walk into the middle of the living room with the fireplace on the right and slightly larger living area on the left. I thought the fireplace made a cozy and intimate area to watch TV, read or sit by the fire. If you are sitting on the couch or side chair you can still enjoy the TV and fireplace as all face generally in that direction but the reading chairs could be reversed for a larger conversation area when entertaining. Swivel chairs would be ideal for this spot but I didn’t have any available at the time of this installation! The Moroccan light fixture over the dining table was a lovely surprise: I love the way it illuminates the whole area with dappled light from the perforated metal. Gorgeous!
