When I am looking at the pictures of homes for sale in TV I am more attracted to those with furniture and things on the walls and cabinets. It seems to give me a better perspective of size and which of my own things would look good in that house. Pictures of empty rooms turn me off. Too much furniture and too many pictures and knickknacks give a feeling of clutter and reduce the size of the room. I suggest if possible put some of your things in the house. Even if sparsely furnished it will give it a homey atmosphere. I wouldnt want to spend the money on buying furnishings just to get a 'staged' appearance because you are then stuck with more 'stuff' to get rid of.

Good Luck to you and I hope you sell soon.
