Okay, I'm a guy so I don't know about decorating and colors and stuff like that. Give me a comfortable desk/table chair, a good recliner, and a firm mattress and I'm happy. But I do know that most real estate sites that show pictures of empty homes do nothing for me. You can't tell size, you can hardly tell the rooms apart. At least you've painted the walls, so there will be some perspective.

Again, remember the source --- I know nothing. But isn't there a compromise available? Using the furniture you have available, could you move stuff around the rooms so you can get meaningful pics? And add a few knickknack things. If you have a space above cabinets that you want to show -- not the main theme, but just a feature -- leaving it empty won't show it. Try a plate or two and/or a cheapo plastic plant.

Good luck --
