Front Porch Less is More

With all the spring cleaning you have been doing inside, don't forget about the outside!

I will be the first to admit that I see spring flowers out and all of a sudden I forget that I cant even keep fake plants alive.  If  your like me then there's a simple solution... ferns.  Just water them when they are dry and go ( I think, you might want to Google that).  They are a great way to add color to your front porch without over doing it..

 

If your not a fan of ferns.. not a big deal, but add something.  You never want to leave your porch empty, well unless you want to start neighborhood rumors that your house is vacant. 

Is anyone home....??

 

 

Even a simple door hanger and a hard to kill plant (my fav) will do! If your selling it will give off a good "homie" vibe

                                   

Due to Easter Weekend I will return Monday!! Happy Easter.. Here's some cute egg ideas just as a bonus :)



 



Spring is in the air

 

SPRING IS IN THE AIR

 

What does this mean? It means its time to realize you didn't get that beach body you wanted over the winter. It means its time to hit up the parks and zoo with the kids.  If your a home owner it means SPRING CLEANING....

 

Very few of us want to do it but we all feel amazing after its done.

I wanted to share with you a few spots that many skip! Do NOT skip these, yes you may think that people don't notice these but trust me when I tell you.. they do.

 

 

If you have sliding doors,  if you have doors.... deep clean the cracks and floor boards.  If you have windows, be sure to get the sides of them as well

 

 

Dusty Dusty... this is a very simple way to get that ceiling and top half of the walls looking good.  You may think oh I only notice it when I fall asleep at night however if you are tying to sell your home and someone tours it... they notice, and now they will think "oh wow I will have to clean that often"  Granted it could have taken years to get that bad but they only see it once and not many buyers want something that will require often deep cleaning. Don't forget those Fan blades!!

 

 

Shades.. Clean them.

 

 

This one is a random one but it needs to be brought up. The Fridge. If you are selling, please know that buyers will without a doubt open and check out what's in it.  Silly I know but its a habit that I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen.  That will not be a deal breaker but they will notice if its in good or poor condition.  If your not selling and still have people over and offer to have them help themselves.. if they think your fridge is this organized you must be really on top of the rest of your home .
