Outdated makes me think I might go the other direction. My mother's, her mother's, and maybe even another generation before.

Use them!

I have my mom's circa 1950 aluminum canisters in the pantry. They're used. Same with some of her pots and pans.

I picked these up at yard sales or the second-hand stores. Sugar, flour and tea bags.

I have my grandmother’s Ransburg canisters, c. 1950s. I remember there being four in the set; I’m not sure how the smallest one got separated or where it is.

They’re mainly just for looks, but sometimes I’ll store non-food items in them, which I promptly forget about. I’m not a baker, so don’t have the need to store flour, sugar, etc in bulk.

They do make me happy to see every day … she was a wonderful baker. :)

I really like the wood ones you’re considering.

ETA: Meant to add — my kitchen is quite small, so I have these in a corner. They aren’t ever in the way at all, plus help hide my lamp cord!

Your thoughts on the photos are right on. I agree with the advice to include the floor plan; I always look for one and appreciate it when it is included. Completely unnecessary are photos of the local shopping center, supermarket, and banks. IMO. The long view to the lake is very pretty. I recall you laying all that mulch and being very impressed. Good luck with the sale.

It seems that you have a good number of photos covering the most important aspects of the house. If you do not include a walk-through and buyers are interested they can have their realtor do a Facetime walk-through with them. This is how we bought our vacation house, homes were selling immediately and we could not get there as quickly as needed, we made an offer after our Facebook tour.

@nicole___ this place is in a more rural area, in the deep woods on a lake - it's not really lit up so night photos aren't very popular here. Met with the realtor today and she had no problem with my choice of photos, or any of my other feedback, and astutely suggested that maybe I wanted to be involved in writing the verbiage for the listing. So I gave her my input, she will write it and I will review/edit. Coming soon is popular around here so it will be coming soon in a week and listing will go live a few days after that. I've gotten several professional opinions on the listing price, which seems high to me, but we will go with that to start as DH is in agreement with it. However we won't dawdle to reduce the price if needed depending on feedback. We have four months to get this done before we head south again. Step one - get it sold. Step two - get rid of everything that's still left here. Should be interesting.....

I was shopping in the produce section of Kroger the other day and was looking over the potatoes. I was trying to find the best bag when the grocery guy came up to me and told me he had some new bags he could get me. I said okay, and then he asked if I needed onions because the cart he was unloading had huge white and yellow onions on them. I sometimes choose them over bags because the ones in the bags are usually already rotting. I told him the last time I bought a bag of onions there they were half rotten already. He asked me which ones I wanted and I picked three huge onions out. He bagged them in netting and put a .99 label on them for me. I'm pretty sure they would normally cost me $5 or more for those three onions.
