    The wardrobe doors slide back and the real bed flops out. The cushions are on the fake bed to stop the real bed crashing into the floor.

    Also explains the tv position :)
    Why does Sherlock Holmes love Mexican restaurants? Because they give him case ideas.

    This is the cats bed and their servants know they are fickle so give them choices regarding pillows and cushions, once they decide the remainder are tossed in the wardrobe until the next day. Seriously though I have had to fake beds out of boxes a couple of times as many viewers cannot visualise the space a double bed takes up

    There is a man somewhere that dreads these words 'can you make the bed up love'...

    I find it hard to believe that people can be so dim.  That said, although we have no intentions of moving, a friend who works for an estate agents was adamant that if we DID want to move we would have to clear out our large (upstairs) study and hobby rooms and put beds in there, otherwise people would think that they were viewing a 2 bed house instead of the 4 bed they wanted.

    People lack imagination but seriously, they can't imagine a bed in there 😆🤦‍♀️ 
    I couldn't stage mine at all when I sold it as my autistic toddler would destroy anything at his height, so it was bare walls, no pictures, books, things on shelves 😆😆 we did get a few comments from people about how sparce it was, but they seemed perfectly capable of imagining themselves in the house and we had no trouble getting people to buy it.
