Staging - Clear The Clutter

You want your house to feel as open and spacious as possible.

Remove anything that isnt beautiful, functional or neutral from the house. Either trash it, sell it, or store it.

Remove everything from counter tops that can be packed away.

Remove everything attached to the fridge. (Except maybe my magnetic business card of course.)

On display tables, mantle pieces etc, follow the Rule Of Three. No more than three items per place.

Clothes are either in hampers, hung up, or in drawers. Never on the floor.

Childrens toys are packed away in toy chests.

Books, games, DVDs, videos etc are stored in shelves.

Closets should not be overstuffed.

The best advice possible is to get a large number of cardboard boxes early on in the process and start packing away all your excess items. You will be moving everything anyway, so its not like youre actually going to be doing anything more than you would.

That and maybe just getting a dumpster.

DUMPSTER?!?! Ok mister! What is it exactly that YOU do anyway?
