How Many Changes Do You See? I did a recent blog post with Before/Afters showing the power of paint, staging & decluttering. How many changes do you see? I counted 21-ish.

Photo #2 looks "better" than Photo #1 - that's as far as I can see!

I'm counting 21 items removed, not including the knick-knacks in the cabinet and on the mantle. Also looks like a new cabinet, new plant, some changes to the window.... I'm guessing all in all somewhere in the 40-50 range for total changes, if not more.

I don't think I need to count the changes. But, rather, to appreciate the overall difference.
