I would remove the throw pillows on the sofa and get an area rug there just as an example.

Prospective tenants cant picture the VCT floor with area rugs.

During one of our evictions the tenants stole two new rugs we had placed in the bedrooms. 

Im a little more "rugged" than she is lol.

Add pops of color with plants, rugs, and art.

Pick nice colors for the pillows, rugs, bedspreads, decor items and art work so that the room is not boring.   

Then did a light sand , and a staining followed by 2 coats of gloss poly .Looked great .Remember by the time you put in furniture and some rugs you dont see much floor . 

Meaning put down rugs or other type things to help with noise if an issue. 

I have found that in the extremes of abundance or scarcity, the morals of the user are intensified, or perhaps they are simply more easily seen.

And the PTB pull the rug out again, blame the little guys, throw a few small banksters, etc. under the bus, and start reeling- in the drag nets for the latest fish out of the Maritime Admiralty waters catch, onto dry land!
