It is looking great. Amazing what you can achieve when you go all out on something.Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -
Well done, looks great :TA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Gosh, thanks everyone.
Friday at 2pm the photos are being done so time really is of the essence.0 -
The most off-putting thing I see when flicking through tons of photos is when they make the rooms look small and dark. Your house seems to have light and bright rooms, which should look great. Also all the decluttering will really pay off too, do you ever look and pics and think 'why didn't they tidy up first?' :eek:"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes.

Renovation fund... what renovation fund? :eek: Emergency fund 40% Future fund... ongoing...0 -
Al, this looks fantastic! I see why you're rushing now, if the photos are being taken on Friday. Don't forget you can just stuff things under the bed or into wardrobes, and carry on with *proper* decluttering after the photographer's gone. Take care!2023: the year I get to buy a car0

Oh yes I so often think "why didnt they make the bed?"
I also think "Why didn't the flipping estate agent suggest they move the wheelie bins, or take down a couple of the stuffed Stag's heads.
IKEA customer service maybe not looking so good.0 -
OH the joy of getting your house ready for the estate agent! It gets worse (at least it did for us) when the viewings start. I was known to hide laundry piles in the boot of my car, and the boxes of shoes in the porch were relocated to the shed!
Good luck with it all! I noticed that you appear to have a lovely view out of the window.

Thank you. Its a village called Burrington that we can see.
IKEA have let me down very badly. Their best remedy is I visit IKEA Birmingham and fetch the item (5 hour drive each way).0 -
