Where to put my guitar?

I love Bertie!1

When I sold my last house, the estate agent ‘advice’ was not to hang a tea towel on the oven door. It seemed a very minor point, but have no idea why it’s such a no-no (as long as it’s clean, of course!). I’ve seen much worse travesties!juliedee4663 said:

The guitar thing may of course be a local phenomenon. But I agree about the twigs and fairy lights. Also strings of triangular flags hung in conservatories seems to be popular.Doozergirl said:I've not noticed the guitars.I believe that the key sale winners are

However, my rat Bertie proved popular. We sold in 11 hours.

I think developers buy job lots of wicker hearts and insist that all buyers on new estates exhibit them in a front window. Also the letters H O M E, which would be good navigational aids if every other house didn't display the exactly the same.

I am gutted to read this thread. I have a guitar, I do play it occasionally, (acoustic not electric) and it is in view in my photos because that is where it lives - I had enough trouble finding places to hide all the random clutter without secreting a guitar somewhere safe. Don’t say “put it in the car” because that was already full of coats, shoes, and other normal living paraphernalia. I have some twigs (cut from my very own garden) and I added fairy lights to them at Christmas, I thought it was a really novel idea. I am now hanging my head in shame. I had no idea that I was such a cliche.I must have done a good job with hiding the cat accessories though, because when my buyers came back for another look this weekend they were surprised to see the two cats in the garden. Luckily they didn’t seem to notice that the cats were busy murdering a mouse.Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.6

I inherited 30 guitars from my husband. That's on top of the cello, two keyboards, nyckelharpa, cittern, Irish bouzouki, Greek bouzouki and baglama, and other assorted instruments (a couple mine!) bringing the total to 50. Luckily I had a big cupboard I could put them all in. It made a talking point when viewers opened the cupboard door ...Unfortunately I couldn't fit my piano in the cupboard too. No one remarked on that, though. But they did like dressmaker's dummy on which I'd put a theatrical costume I'd made for my drama group and stood it in front of an untidy pile of stuff I couldn't find a hidey hole for.0
