My daughter illustrates my point perfectly.  An accessory is:

ac·ces·so·ry ( k-s s -r )
n. pl. ac·ces·so·ries
1. a. A subordinate or supplementary item; an adjunct.
b. Something nonessential but desirable that contributes to an effect or result. See Synonyms at appendage.
adj.
1. Having a secondary, supplementary, or subordinate function.

The listing I did a bid on today for staging reminded me of one of my pet peeves.  I often see vacant listings on the market that the realtor or the home owner has ‘spruced up' with accessories.  The wooden watermelon slice on the counter, a few baskets over the fridge, a stuffed animal on the floor of the master bedroom, the abandoned cheap silk plant.  I have to tell you: the effect is NOT POSITIVE!!!!!!, That's why they are called accessories; they are intended to compliment the furnishings.  On their own it just looks like the owner forgot to take something when they moved.  My advise; you are better off leaving the home completely vacant than sparsely furnished or accessorized!

I also often have real estate agents asking me to price them for accessorizing their listing because they/the owner doesn't want to spend the money on fully staging a vacant home.  I'm terribly sorry I say, that is not a service that I offer.  I even uses to use an analogy.  Imagine a lady who is wearing a fancy hat, scarf, jewelry, and boots, but nothing more.................................   Well, that is what putting accessories in a vacant home is like.  But the glimmer in too many eyes has made me rethink my approach.  Additionally, upon further reflection, based on that analogy, homes might sell quite quickly ;)

A funny anecdote: My husband and I viewed a house last year in which the owners had tacky old furnishings and accessories scattered around the house with little ‘price tags' taped to each piece.  These were all things that the owners obviously didn't want any more, heck the Salvation Army probably wouldn't take them, so why they thought prospective home buyers would, I shall never understand!  The prices were also laughably high.
