Spring Cleaning: 4 Tips

While you are waiting for the arrival of spring, here are four things you can begin to think about to get your home ready for the big thaw (at least on the east coast) :-).

1. Gardens – Boost your curb appeal. Begin planning your color scheme and the flowers you will plant this spring. Read up on the different flowers and plants and do something different this year.

2. Roof / Gutters – Ice (which can cause damage to roofs and leaks in the home), leaves, you name it, it could be up there. Hire a professional to clean them. This will help your curb appeal a great deal, too.

3. Foyer – The foyer of the home tends to be neglected and used as a pass through space. But, during warm weather, people linger a little longer. So, be sure to enhance the look of your foyer. Resist using it as a place simply to drop keys, mail, and take off shoes.

4. Entertainment Area – Company’s coming. People are just more social during warmer months. Is your entertainment area inviting? Maybe now would be a good time to de-clutter and organize your space.
