Over the past week or so I have come to see the very visible difference between living in your house and showing off your house to prospective buyers while living in it.
The house needs to look at its most appealing, surfaces must be clear and there needs to be wide open spaces so that the hordes of people that come to see the house have somewhere to stand without blocking the way for the waiting hordes to come in. There also has to be no sign of actual living.
We are very lucky because our house is beautiful but boy have their been a few things I have had to get used to.
Our bathroom usually has a decent collection of shaving creams, moisturisers, creams of unknown origin and toothpastes and toothbrushes to clean the teeth of a small island. This is what it looks like when the house is on show.
The very clean bathroom
Normally I kill flowers with neglect. This is what the outside of the house looks like during inspection month
Flowers that actually bloom
Every day Little Pencil makes his bed and I close my eyes to the results. On inspection days I remake the bed
Remade but not ironed….
The kitchen is always tidy but on inspection days it is sparkling
SHINY!

The bed is normally very inviting and looks less like a hotel bed. On show days it has no sign of life, no books, no dog, ALMOST no creases
No reading being done on show days
The dining room that normally seats 12 now seats 8 but no one is allowed to come for a meal because they will make a mess
Excuse the shadows (but what a sunny house)
Maybe we should have taken the family off the wall….
My pride and joy
Now will someone just buy the bloody house so that I can go back to living in it, albeit for a very short time.
Oh god! It’s all ahead of me in a few weeks. Gulp. Your place looks amazing!
Gorgeous pics. Here’s hoping someone makes a ridiculously huge offer – NOW – so you can quite with the tidying and cleaning and hiding and get back to the living.
Oh so familiar! I think as we have bought and sold so many times over the last ten years (and twenty odd times when I was a kid) I have developed into the non-materialistic-over-the-top-OCD person that I am. But even so, inspection time still brings my stress levels to extreme. Everything has to be perfect. Just don’t open my cupboards on inspection day. That’s. All.
Good luck, hope you sell SOON!
Last time we sold a house, we had the good sense to move out first, then had it styled by a person who knows about such things. Sure, it cost a bit but the amount of worry and stress it saved me cannot be measured in mere dollars.
Good luck and I hope your house sells this week!
Love the photo wall.
Fingers crossed for a quick sale.
