[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 18949, member: 103"]If I may comment here: while I am aware that Brad is as imperturbable as the faces on Mount Rushmore, and that Af is utterly and deservedly secure in his own abilities and choices, and that neither needs my defense, nevertheless -- like Shiloh -- I felt an urge to defend them. It is not a question of defending against storage, or decorating, advice, it is that the length and detail given is gratuitous and unfortunately, to this reader, comes across as presumptuous. I am sure that Lilfont had no such intention, and I am aware that the advice is good. But such information should be given either as a response to a question, or be given its own thread which could include other hints. I am neither a seller, nor (as I now realize!!!) a true hoarder, but I AM a bit of a decorator, and while I recognize the validity of the critique, I would prefer not to be given an answer before I ask the question. I am not chastising you for your enthusiasm, Lilfont, just its placement. As someone who has gone into a home for sale which had the laundry on the dining room table, 87 family pictures Everywhere, and dust rabbits from the hairy dog, I know how you feel.
