So, we’re putting the house on the market again, this time for good. David’s had to resort to using either the girls’ room or ours as his office, depending on which has fewer people in it at any given moment, so it’s time.

There are fake plants and new throw rugs in places on the exact opposite side of the house of where they’re supposed to be.
