Great Suzanne! We love pics!

Thanks for the ironing board ideas.  I will give each of them a try to see which works for me…and thanks for your reasons for why you put them where you did, too.  As I move more stuff into the basement, I'll try to take some pics to let you know how successful I was.  LOL

Brenda, I had a similar situation when I sold my first house. I also declined. People figure you are will to do anything because you are so anxious to sell the house.

When I sold my house they had the nerve to ask if I would sell them my grandmothers rocker and quilt rack to sweetn the deal. What a bunch of crap told them no way.yes they did buy the house for the asking price.

Oh, Irene. What a nosy person she must have been. Can't say she would be my favorite person either. That's just as bad as if she wore white gloves and ran her fingers across the furniture.

Irene, you crack me up! I had to laugh at that and can't say as I blame you a bit!

Janis, thanks for the encouragement with the house.  The rest of the house was clean and I think people are more interested in the bones and layout of a house then dirty dishes or un-made beds but we all know that a lot of work can get done in a hurry if we know company is coming. lol One good thing is having clients coming and going keeps me on my toes but the bags full of work to be done makes a clutter in the sewing room.

Sheila, I laughed when I read about hiding things in the dryer.  I did that one time while getting ready for a meeting that was being held here.  We had just moved into this house and to make for quick cleaning everything went into the dryer from toys to magazines.  Back then 47 years ago if you moved, everyone expected the grand tour.  One lady who is a LOOK and Tell type person for reasons I have never understood opened my dryer door and seen the mess.  I was flabergasted as the other ladies standing nearby seen it too.  I haven't liked the bitch since. lol

Sheila, ,next time you're in the neighborhood let me know.  You and any of the other ladies are welcome to come to visit.

Irene, your sewing room is very nice. I have to say that I sold my first house many, many years ago. We had company with small children visiting and we just left the house with dishes in the sink and beds unmade (which I never do) because we had so little time with them we wanted to not waste a minute because they were leaving the next day. The realtor showed the house while we were out and brought an offer over the following night. It was lower than we wanted so we countered and we sold the house for the asking price. I was shocked because I had spent months keeping the house spotless and the day it was a shambles it sold. Go figure.

If you're going to sell that beautiful sewing room, I hope you're getting a bigger/better one in the next home, Irene!!! I know what you mean about not giving you much notice. While in the service, my DH & I became real pro's at hiding the clutter & dirty dishes. Just don't forget to take them out of the washer & dryer! LOL!
