But kept everything else very simple. I have seen too many houses that seem perfectly decorated, but that is the problem-they are decorated to the seller's taste and not thinking about the buyer. If there is too much for the buyer to have to look past to see their own furniture and nick-nacks in there they will never buy. Less can be a lot more.

I've seen the towel swans, ivy vines everywhere, flowers in wine glasses, etc...THANK YOU for affirming what's NOT necessary!
