No, no, no. The way I understood it is that the OP is furnishing a house to put on the rental market. The suggestion to call a furniture store and look at their rental package is a good one. But I don't know which store to call. In days gone by I would have suggested Southern Lifestyles, but I don't know if their successor, City Furniture, does it. And City Furniture doesn't get high marks for quality or customer service.

I love Ruth Dyer's ideas, also. You could call her and ask the hourly rate for a consultation. She might give you enough ideas that you could then proceed on your own.

You might also ask landlords on TOTV for ideas based on their experience.

When we were thinking of buying many years ago, we rented a patio villa for a month in the Santiago area. Arrived at the house and found instructions to make the bed and where to find the sheets. The sheets were mismatched and almost in tatters. Not a good first impression!
