The Ravenna House Story + A Proper Goodbye Video
THE RAVENNA HOUSE
In all the hub-bub around selling the Ravenna House last summer, we never got around to giving the house a proper goodbye. Homes are such an important part of our lives - like a member of the family in many ways - and we wanted to tell this old gal’s story and let her just…show off a bit.
So last weekend, Garrett gathered all his old clips and put together a video of the Ravenna House’s story. There’s lots of before-and-afters and stories we’ve never shared before. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we do!
It’s been 5 months since we sold the Ravenna House and we broke down all the final numbers in this post. I have to say, watching this video reminded me just how much work we put into the Ravenna House. Goodness, that basement was rough! And can we talk about the pink bathroom?! But in the end, we’re really glad that we took on this project and made the Ravenna House shine.
Thanks for being apart of this journey with us.

Garrett and I sold our first home on the MLS last year and it went smoothly, despite the slowing real estate market. But that wasn’t exactly a surprise to us because we had Redfin - a Seattle-based real estate innovator - by our side. In the past 6 years, we've bought 3 homes, sold 1, and toured countless more with Redfin. It can be hard as a reader to see behind the scenes and there were a lot of questions about Redfin and why we chose them for our Ravenna House listing. So today we're going to address that. As well as share a few insights into our success in real estate…
Back when we were getting the Ravenna House ready to sell, we added panel moulding (which looks like picture frames on the wall) to the master bedroom. It was a relatively easy project and went a long way in making this small bedroom feel more ‘master-ey’. Scroll on to read all about this project (psst: room sources are also at the bottom of this post).
