One of the hardest things for people to do is distance themselves from their "stuff". I remember looking at the house I'm in 25 years ago and seeing a drop ceiling in the kitchen. The owner was commenting about the beautiful ceiling she'd installed, and at the same time I was pointing to the ceiling telling my wife how it had to go!

After looking at the place for 25 years, I know I've become "clutter-blind". A fresh pair of objective eyes neutralizing the place could only be a really good thing.
