The House
sallytuppence talks about doing some ruthless cutting on her novel and I've been doing some ruthless cutting at my house. It's going on the market on Monday.
This past Monday the realtor came and among her suggestions, she said remove every thing. Basically, you get to have one item on each surface and totally clean surfaces are also good.
She also suggested I turn my dining room back into a dining room:

Previously, I think it might most accurately have been referred to as 'a very wide hallway with lots of clutter.'
Except for the fact that it's dirty and a lot of work, I have enjoyed putting my house back in order. It really is a very nice house.
I'll post more pictures when it's all bright and shiny (you have to wait for new house pictures until I actually move in there).
