Why is it ...

My house looks so much nicer after I have moved out?

I had to put carpet on the stairs (and in one of the upstairs bedrooms) because tenants need carpet apparently.

Anyway I loved going up the carpeted stairs it was like walking on air. 

Wish I had had it done when I lived there!  Not forgetting having the hallway / landing etc stripped of the horrid wood chip, skimmed and painted.

I want to move back.

That's a lie

Hoping to spend a couple of days back on the boat now the house is sorted.
