Am I Lucky or What!?!

I am absolutely terrible when it comes to taking pictures when I'm on a job... I walk in the door and am so focused on getting the job at hand done, I completely forget to get good before and after pictures...

Today was moving day... a couple in the midst of a divorce had sold their $3+million dollar home in San Francisco's tony Pacific Heights neighborhood and so most items (carefully packed by PHA and color-coded between his, hers, and community property) were going into storage. Still other items were tagged for donations and those to be sold by an antique dealer.

However, there were 22 boxes of her personal items to be moved to their Sonoma County residence (that is also a multi-million dollar property currently on market) for her to use and enjoy until that property is sold.

During the course of the move, located within a winding stairwell, was a very large, very heavy, steel French-style, clock face that needed to be removed and delivered to a third party.... and, I was only informed of this task at 10am this morning!! (I'll be doing a separate post on the movers....they deserve all the kudos they get!).

Do I take pictures of this challenging task?  No.

While the interior is not huge, it is so well appointed that it is more than quite comfortable.

Am I luck or what ????  Yes, I am. I get to work in beautiful properties both in the City of San Francisco and in Wine Country!!

Organizing moves and helping people through the moving process is what I do... and, more importantly what I love to do!

Here's two more pictures of the Sonoma residence...on the left is the Dining Room and on the right is the Family Room which is right off the kitchen... all have doors leading onto the deck and beautiful lap pool.  I missed a shot of the lake which is below the pool...

And a lake, too?

You're right. You're lucky to work in such fabulous surroundings. But you make your own luck which is why you have great clients who choose to work with you. Congrats on a job well done
