When the declutterer came through on Wednesday she also gave us tips on decor. Which we dutifully followed.
One such tip was to get a long bowl and fill it with green apples and place it on the kitchen bench. Himself went to the supermarket on Friday afternoon just before the photographer was due to arrive. We had spent the morning searching for other decor items and I was busy filling vases with impressive arrays of floral bling and piling stones around soft mocha candles and rolling hand towels and ... well you get the picture. Granny Smith apples would have to be the one apple that you can get year in and year out.
On Friday there were none to be had in the supermarket. Himself found some in a greengrocer.
Yesterday and today we went to several auctions to get a feel for what's out there and what people are paying. Incidentally it was the biggest auction weekend on record with 1400 properties up for auction across Melbourne.
Every house we went into had a bowl of green apples on the kitchen bench!
No grannies up here either. DIL and I have looked for a couple of weeks. We bought Johnathons and Galas instead.
