    I've not noticed the guitars.  

    I believe that the key sale winners are 

    a) a vase of random big twigs placed in a corner, often with fairy lights

    b) it is imperative to hang a used tea towel from the arm of the oven.   
    OMG, both of these were in my pictures LOL 

    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!
    If you will the end, you must will the means.

    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.
    It's called bunting daaaaahling 😂

    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.
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.
  • 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.
