What is the first thing people notice when they come into your house/apartment?

when I walk into my own apartment I notice that it's kinda cluttered. I have a lot of furniture in a small apartment. I should get rid of some of it but the I have no storage. I should get rid of it but I think, what about when I move out of this tiny place, then I won't have anything. I'll have a bigger apartment with no furniture to put in it! So that's what I THINK people notice, but no one ever says that. Usually people notice that I have a lot of DVD's... or they notice my lovely and beautiful television. Then it's usually something random or my cat that others notice.

My front door opens up into the living room, the colour scheme is predominantly white with a splash of red cushions, and in the center is a low white coffee table, with a a circular ed tray in the middle, and on top of is a goldfish bowl with 2 goldfish and a black moorifsh. My guests usually comment on the fish, coz at first it looks like its part of the decor, and then they see the fish moving around ..lol! Um we got the goldfish a lot later, actually my brother forced us to get it, and we needed a tray to put underneath the goldfish bowl, and we had re tray lying around we just put it..it happened accidentally but ..its looks very put together! :-)

That sounds like an attractive idea to present your apartment to people when they enter. And individual too. When people walk in our front door, they enter a smallish entrance way, & probably the first thing they see is an aquarium. It is a 2 ft aquarium with five goldfish. They also see a large photo above the aquarium with lots of photos arranged in it of my husbands kids. People may also see two photos, one from India & one of an Australian outback scene. We also have a weather barometer in the entrance way. Leading from the entrance way are two doors, nearly always open that go into the family room & lounge room. Most likely people see the piano straight away as it is near the entrance.

That sounds cute the way you did your pictures.The fact that you used pink poster paper even makes it stand out more, thats a good idea.How did you get the pictures to stick without messing up the back of the picture?Now for you answer! haha! I live in a mobile home on two acres,its not a new one but it belonged to my Mom and i just feel so good being here, she passed away and it makes me feel close to her...I have had some beautiful homes in my past but, I ended up here, and i think god i have this little place..The one thing that people notice is my big front porch.I had a big porch put onto the front of my trailor, and i hung a porch swing and put plants out there, and people always comment on my porch.I also try to fix up my place every time i get any money ahead.People will come in and say "Oh your place is so cute,and homey,thats the comments that i get a lot..I have done a lot of repairs in the last 10 years and i always try to put things around to try and make it as comfortable as i can..

Well I had someone come here for the first time last week and shortly after they left they phoned my landlord (their friend) and said that they need to paint my house. So apparently now the landlord is going to give me free paint to paint the walls. I have been here for 4 and a half years and never painted it. It was painted fresh when I moved in though. I never really thought about painting it because it isn't mine so why spend the money and I hated to ask my landlord as I only pay $145 a month including my heat. So I guess they first notice that it needs a paint job really bad.

My animals. I have a lot of cats and one or ten of them are always hanging around the door when someone comes in. The next thing you'll probably notice is a horse or two grazing about as you look out my huge picture window that overlooks the front of my house. The third thing you might notice is that my house is all tile flooring. I don't like carpet. My whole house from kitchen to dining room and both bathrooms to all 5 bedrooms are all tile.

I can't say forsure but if I were someone coming into my house (not really mine but renting rooms here) I would notice the stains on the carpet just inside the entryway... They were here when I moved in and I've tried several times to clean them but fact is the carpet is going to have to be replaced.

Our family pictures are on the wall closest to the front door but no one seems to notice until later on LOL I would have to say its our African prints we have on our walls that people ask about.

People usually notice that my apartment is neat when they first enter, ctry, although they wouldn't want to see my bedroom, LOL. I have this cute little curved loveseat that everyone comments on when they see it. And I also have a lot of photos of the great-grandkids scattered all over the living room. The entertainment center with my large tv and music system takes up most of the space in my living room.

Probably that I need a maid! We are such slobs!!!

In the house we are renting, there is a full length wall mirror just as you walk in the door. It is funny to see how many people stand in front of it and check themselves out from all angles, turning from side to side and front to back. Sometimes it is quite hilarious, because it is like a magnet, and they don't seem to know what they are doing when they step in front of it. Then, when they see that I have noticed what they are doing, we all start laughing! If I could remove it I would, but the landlord does not want us to take it down.

The first thing they notice is that it's very clean and organized!! LOL I love a clean house and can't stand a dirty cluttered home. I guess the next thing would be that I'm a Christian because of the figurines and pictures I have up in my living room. However if they come in the back way and go into the kitchen, they'll see that I love daisies and ladybugs. LOL

I would love to put some of my paintings on the wall, but I am still pretty busy or lazy? to get them there. I would be glad if they would notice just that. Right now when they come to my apartman and the first thing they notice is our anitque coffee table, what is about 150 years old and we bring it from germany. I don't really like it, but my fiancee does and it seems like many people like it too.

they notice that out place is bloody clean and spotless... and they tinker everything whats on there and look at the pictures and ornaments...
