Indoors

9. Clean everything in and out of sight. Shampoo rugs and wax floors. Wash or brush walls. Wash windows and clean blinds and draperies.
10. Weed clutter out of closets and cupboards.
11. Create space by storing some of the extra furniture you've found useful (bureaus, bookcases, storage chests, oversized chairs) but which makes a crowded impression.
12. Place the remaining furniture so that traffic can flow easily from room to room.
13. Unless you're a skilled artist, scale down your personal art work (portraits, landscapes), posters, signs, and family photos, especially in teenagers' rooms. Create a feeling of spaciousness.
14. Keep shades and draperies open, to admit as much light as possible, but screen out unappealing views.
15. Let your kitchen look warm and welcoming, not a hectic workplace. Keep your sink shining and free of dirty dishes at all times.
16. Organize cupboards.
17. Clean the refrigerator.
18. Keep counter tops clear, but not empty (as if unused); adorn them with your most attractive canisters.
19. Completely degrease your oven. Let the kitchen smell fresh and fragrant (with cinnamon warming in the clean oven, if you have time).
20. Remove debris (dust, flies, moths, etc.) from all light fixtures.
21. Keep bathrooms scrubbed, tidy and equipped with fresh soap and neatly hung towels (matching, if possible).
22. Get rid of all stains and install new washers on dripping faucets.
23. Feature (with lighting or furniture arrangements) your home's best characteristics (a fireplace, a picture window, a balcony, ceiling beams, a kitchen eating area, etc.)
24. If you've repainted (preferably in safe, neutral tones), add bold splashes of color (with your brightest throw pillows, crockery, pictures).
25. Place plants in strategic spots in any room- the bigger the more glamorous, if space permits.
26. Light the house, especially dark corners and hallways.
27. Hang mirrors where they will reflect outdoor light- as well as make a room look larger
