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.

To see what we have done at our home just click the link!

  • I gave the tops of the painter tarps a pocket so I could easily slide the pipe through.I sewed a hem on the bottom of the painter tarps based on the height of the pergola.
  • I spray painted pipes purchased at home depot for a cheap alternative
  • This is how we secured them to the house.
  • We can block the direction of the sun from any direction.  On a side note, I might have added something on the bottom hem to weigh them down so they don't blow when it is windy.

Make Your House Look Ten Years Young

You've heard that when it comes to looks, age is just a number – but does the same go for your house? We think so! The best part about giving your house a facelift is that you don't need to go all "Botox crazy" on it to bring back that youthful glow. All you need to do is give a little TLC to the exterior. #PorchPride

Here are five ways to make your house look 10 years younger: ...»

1. Focus on the front door. Your front door is literally the gateway to your home, so dress it up. First,repair and replace any old or tarnished door hardware. Then clean off any dirt from the door's exterior and add a fresh layer of paint. Your door will appreciate the royal treatment. More tips: https://brightnest.com/posts/how-to-make-you...

  • My back door. Boxes on the railing.
  • Also under the breakfast area to the left.
  • I like how the variegated vinca hangs down.
  • I use sedum also because it stays nice and green, tolerates the heat and comes back each year for FREE!
