Getting ready to sell our house and the stager came by to give her professional advice, which included telling me I had too many books... she suggested removing most of the books from my BOOKshelves and replacing them with candles, plants, and stock photos. I'm not a violent person, but I was seeing red 😡😅
Sace Full bookshelves wold make me feel at home and therefore more inclined to like the house 😁 22h
Amiable I would be MORE inclined to be interested in a house with full bookshelves! 22h
Jari-chan There are people out there I seriously don't understand 🙈 22h

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage At least they didn‘t tell you to reverse them to see the white pages side? 22h
tpixie Forbid you have BOOKS on your BOOKshelf. Obviously she‘s a non- reader! 22h
Tamra Ugh - don‘t! Honestly, nothing in the way of people‘s decorating or possessions in the 10 years we spent seriously looking at dozens of houses ever put me off. It was the structure itself, the nonmovable things that mattered. 21h
ChaoticMissAdventures @Tamra that is how I looked at houses too. But I think a vast majority of people just have zero imagination. They have shown that staging really works to bring in more for the seller. So silly, probably from all those non readers. 21h
Tamra @ChaoticMissAdventures 🫤Sad for them! 21h
jen_the_scribe They‘re buying the house, not the shelves (regardless of what‘s in them) lol 21h
llwheeler I got the same advice when we sold our house 6ish years ago. Packed up over half my books and “prettified“ the shelves as the agent wanted. It was kinda fun for those few weeks. And now all my shelves are happily overflowing again at this house 🙂 (I have my doubts that doing it gave us a faster or better offer though, but who knows) 20h
ShyBookOwl @llwheeler Haha! That's it. I can't imagine anyone saying, "idk about this house, the current owner has a lot of books." ? the lack of imagination is depressing 18h
ShyBookOwl @ChaoticMissAdventures @Tamra So true. I don't get it. But I think anyone who has that much trouble seeing past books is going to have a very difficult time choosing a house, anyways. It speaks more to them than my house lol 18h
ShyBookOwl @jen_the_scribe Exactly! Ridiculous. 18h
ShyBookOwl @tpixie Clearly! 18h
ShyBookOwl @Sace @Amiable Same!! 18h
ShyBookOwl @Jari-chan Me too 18h
ShyBookOwl @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage omg is that a thing?! 18h
Suet624 I‘m so annoyed by this suggestion. 16h
ShyBookOwl @Suet624 Right?! 2h
