Selling Your House: Say It in Gingerbread
With the housing market tanking, home sellers must devise new ways to attract buyers. I’d like to offer this suggestion: do it in gingerbread. When having an open house the smell of freshly baked cookies always adds an aroma of value. Adding ownership of this cookie at closing will be just the push your prospective buyer needs. I smell bidding war!
Well, we’re not selling our house but Susie and girls decided to construct a scale model replica of our 1950s ranch anyway. Using elevations from a recent renovation, my wife constructed the sides and the girls set out to decorate. I, being the professional photographer in a previous life, was tasked with documenting the finished model. As we are a multicultural family, matzot was were used for the hipped roof and garage doors.

Wonderful! It’s a work of art. Can’t wait to see your renovations. I thought you were going to build ‘up,’ so I can’t picture what you’ve done.
Nice work, folks! Happy new year.

That is a fantastic work of art, Susie. And what a wonderful way to include the girls in making art!!

I think I should not have a house made of cookies because I love cookies and maybe I will eat it one morning with a nice cup of coffee :-)
