I was a no-way-in-heck-would-I-ever-use-cloth type of girl...until my second son was born with severe food allergies. It took 18 months, countless specialist appointments and more prescription strength hydrocortisone than I care to admit, to realize that my son's bleeding, raw, scarred behind was a result of the disposables. We tried bumgenius at toddlerhood and never went back to disposables.

Cloth is not or everyone, but they are a miracle for us.

our family just had to go through a similar debate. BOTH of my children's rooms had custom murals. perhaps i followed my heart to our detriment, but i did not paint over either mural. we knew we were limiting our market, but we also knew our townhouse would be appealing to the young family/starter home sector anyway. we deliberately listed lower and sold in 60 days...to a young family with kids who kept the murals.

it worked out for us.

as for living with kids while your house is on the market, ours were 1 and 3...we limited the toys to a few favorites and put them away before showings. it was not easy keeping the house "show ready" with young kids. just remember, it is only a short time!
