| Whether selling your home, or adding ambience to your dream home,
adding curb appeal is well worth the effort. |
| Ideas and Suggestions |
| |
Is there parking for guests? Creating a turn-around and extra parking is a good way to show that you welcome guests. It also makes entry and exit a breeze every day.

|
Is the front porch welcoming? If the entry area and porch are inviting and well thought out visitors will be more likely to feel good about the rest of the house.
It can serve as a landing zone and respite from the weather for your entry into the house.A table next to the door provides a place to drop whatever you are carrying while you unlock the door.
|
| What makes it work?
|
| Simple containers for plants work in any setting. Attractive containers with seasonal flowers or evergreen shrubs can really dress up a stairway or porch and are easy to maintain. Lighter weight fiberglass and foam versions of urns and pots have the look of concrete and terra cotta at a fraction of the cost. Check local wholesale clubs and home improvement stores for these affordable and attractive containers. |
| What makes it work?
 |
Is there outdoor lighting to guide visitors (and you)?
Install a porch light with a motion detector.
Solar Lighting along a walkway is easy to install.

| |
Is foundation planting well kept
and healthy? Overgrown or unhealthy plants or weedy planting beds may suggest more than you would like about the overall condition of the home itself.
