Did you convert a bedroom into a play room, weight room or sewing room? Convert it back to a bedroom.

Same goes for living areas. Make sure your living room is a living room and your dining room is a dining room. Not a bar, game room or some multi-purpose room.

You want to sell the home now. So you need to give up what you were using the room for in order to appeal to the average home buyer.

Clean Your Bathroom Twice
