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.

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.
