Truthfully, cleaniliness and scent. I am a big scent person and love candles and tarts,etc.So I guess it is nromal for me to notice those things. I am not a materialistic person, so I could care less if you have expensive furniture or granite counter tops or stainless steel appliances!!!!I also notice if its a home that makes you feel welcome!

I wish I could burn scented candles. I can't use scent because of DH's allergies. I have to use scent free laundry detergent, too. When I clean his bathroom, I have to do it as soon as he leaves in the morning, and leave the bathroom fan on all day. I feel for anyone who suffers with allergies. It's no fun.

Neatness

lay-out of the home

When I first go into someone's home, I first notice if everything is "too pristine." I like a home that looks welcoming, lived in and reflects the people who live in it. As long as it is clean and the company is good, I rarely if ever notice someone's decor unless they point it out to me.

If the homeowners are happy to have me there.

What a nice reply; I'd be very happy to have you in my home (-;

Thank you Helen. With the damp and cold of the Midwestern autumn setting in, the thought of enjoying the pleasant clime of San Diego is inviting.

We have relatives in Wisconsin/Minnesota, so I know what you mean. Wish I could bottle up some of our sunshine and send it to you!

I notice how glad they are to see me. Unless they're hoarders, I notice their smiles.

Probably the first thing woulkd be the smell. Any smoke smell hits me right between the eyes and can trigger a migraine headache.

After entering a home and getting setteled, I notice the artwork and how it has been framed and hung. After 42 years as a framer I am usually mentally rehanging most of it. It is so common to see art hung too high on a wall, especially over a sofa. Pictures hung in a group are usually hung too far apart and the wall space between them becomes more important than the art.

I keep a hammer & hangers in my car, but most people wouldn't be open to my suggestions! LOL
