I want to start this by simply stating this: When you decide to sell your house, you must detach yourself emotionally from your home and make it all about the buyers so that they will feel welcome and comfortable during the tour. A lot of people, for whatever reason, are unwilling to "cut the apron strings" from their homes and complicate this process, making it all about them.

Your buyer doesn't want to see too many pictures of you and your family on the walls, either. Even though you love them and think that your family is great (which I'm sure it is), your buyer doesn't care. Buyers want to visualize his/her family there, so having too many personal items might be a huge turn off to potential buyers.

The goal here is to provide as much of a neutral atmosphere as possible. Now, this doesn't mean that you have to paint every wall white, but you never want to hear the words,  “That’s.... interesting” when showing your home.
