We put our house up for sale 4 weeks ago and I did as many have said. The stuff that wasn't being used went in to a storage are and the rest was tucked away nice and neat. Sold the house in 20 days which is very good in our area.
4 pics: The first is a BEFORE pic of my shop (4th bedroom) and the other three are AFTER pics.
