It's fun reading this... as my house was recently on show for all the world (for sale) it was interesting to hear people's comments on my home... they fell in this order recently from a few friends that stopped by:

1) It's sooooo clean - very evident of no children or husbands, I'm afraid to touch the walls for fear of leaving fingerprints.

2) HOLY CD collection... you have sooo many. And wow! what a variety of music.

3) WOW! Look at all those books, have you really read all of these?!

But even through the showings it was repeated comments from potential buyers as to the cleanness, organized state, and homey feel.
