Question by (¯`v´¯)????Eva????(¯`v´¯): I need some good descriptions of a Victorian room? I am writing a story and my character is currently in a victorian room, which is on the high floor of a castle. I need some good descriptions to describe the room.

Question by myfavouritelucy: Where can I find some replacement knobs for a victorian chest of drawers? I have a lovely mahogany chest of drawers, but 2 of the knobs have been lost.

Question by weakestlink11: What’s the best way to go about cleaning out a house before selling and make some money doing it? I am about to put my house up for sale, but the realty agent handling it says I have to clean it out before it goes on the market. It’s a 2500 sq ft Victorian house with a full attic and cellar packed with stuff my parents collected in the last 35 years. I’ve already tried tag sales and posting to local newspaper classifieds and Craig’s List. Not much interest. I’ve also contacted estate liquidators. Only one agreed to come to the house and his comment was “Get a dumpster and put everything in it!” I feel the house contents are too good to just throw away. I don’t want to give it away either – I need the money! It...
