CURB APPEAL

LOOKING GOOD!

Our houses can't go to the gym to get a quick workout

Or hike

or run

and they can't trim their own shrubs

So when it comes to getting in shape

looking good

and creating a beautiful curbside look at your home

your house has to rely on you.

Create a warm welcome with plants

nothing welcomes as beautifully as flowers

even when there is no front 'yard', a garden can come in the form of flower filled pots placed on the front steps...

a front porch

or a city staircase

and if there is a front yard make sure it is well kept and tended,
 a beautiful landscape creates instant curb appeal

a front porch and a curving path beckon you to visit

there are dozens of ways to create curb appeal...

so if your home is crying for a little TLC, step back and take a look

or better yet, take a picture from the street and look at it with a critical eye

ask yourself  - if you were house shopping, would it appeal to you?

What does it need?

does the door stand out? 

or does it get lost in the rest of the house?

is there a pleasant place to relax nearby, inviting guests to sit a spell?

is there a welcoming pathway to the door?

is the landscape in good balance - not too small or minimal?

and not overgrown?

does it have charm and beauty?

at all times of the day

or night?

do you have a focal point. . ?

if you find your home lacking, take some notes and make some changes

it can be as simple as adding a few well planted pots
