Thank you very much. Yes! Especially with sticky toddler fingerprints!

I agree. Looks much better but I would also angle the tv unit.

Thank you. I did think about it, should have done it in hindsight, I just didn't want to lose the floor space, was worried it might make the room look smaller.

Move it (and the dressing table) just for taking the photos, then move them back so you can use them normally. ! Same with the third bedroom - stage it as a bedroom for the purpose of photos then revert to the study as that's how you use the space.

I think it would make it easier to see the tv. I think you've done a great job.

Dining table - damp cloth with a dab of white wine vinegar on it, then use a tea towel to dry/buff , and get a nice shine.

But I'm sorry, that table really really needs to be in the dining area of the kitchen and conservatory made into play room or and/or move study into there.

Could you do a temporary swap with someone for a two and three seater settee (average size not the warehouse sized - over 1m deep - corner sofa most people buy nowadays). Then you might be able to show the lounge as being the size it is. If a sofa is over 1m deep, it tend to make a room look much smaller. A corner sofa means you often can only place it one way in a room because of its dimensions.

I'm afraid the garden picture still needs to show a garden (grass) rather than a patio. Sounds mad but could you stand on a ladder/chair behind the fence at the back and take a full garden pic (could be a conversation piece with whoever owns the house behind the fence if its another house lol)?

Photos taken pointing down always look awful and small. You want to take it from a low angle in the garden.

Hope you get some viewings, it really is the luck of the draw.

Great stuff. The conservatory in particular looks SO much better <grabs lapels><channels Vic & Bob> that was my idea

Good idea but no chance of doing a furniture swap. It isn't a huge corner sofa and I hope people will be able to see past that.

I haven't been able to redo the garden pictures yet because it hasn't stopped raining long enough to paint the fence and shed. Hopefully that will be done today though.
