I had murals I hated to part with too. The one in my boys' bathroom I'd painted myself and had to paint over in a neutral color. But I know from experience that you'll find a perfect new place and make new memories!

We had to repaint every room before we moved in because the previous owners had used baby blue and pink paint on the walls. It looked like someone threw up a baby shower. It was really awful. LOL.

That happened to my mother as well--one day not long after she finally made the decision to downsize but before she contacted a realtor, someone knocked on her door and asked if she would sell, then named a price more than my mother had expected to get. <br />I hope after you get moved in, we get to see the new murals for your kids' rooms! Congrats on your new book!

As the weather improves you'll all wonder how you survived without that big backyard.

From those alone, and what they must mean to your kids, I can see why it would be hard to say goodbye to your house.
