Upping your Curb Appeal...
I often get asked by clients " How do I up my curb appeal?"
Having an attractive view from the road is so important not only for resale but for maximizing your homes potential for your own enjoyment!
Here are some simple ideas...
Play to your homes strengths... If you have a lovely curved lane then add other curves to echo that feature like a curved pathway leading to the front door or round planters at the entrance.
Color block... accent and play up the wonderful colour in your trim work or door paint. Add annuals that are in the same color family... pillows on the front porch furniture also in those same tones... in other words, repeat the theme.
Add a decorative house number for interest and whimsy.
Shutters, window boxes and well tended lawns, attractive and well kept landscaping and gardens all go a long way to adding curb appeal.

You have such a pretty home. It looks so much older than its real age (in a good way). Love the front door!
