Is your home feeling tired? Looking for a simple face lift?
Every now and then I look at my own home and realize that while I'm out and about assisting sellers and buyers with their Real Estate Needs I often times skip over the advise which I give to others. I have written posts about prepping your home for sale and thought to myself....why not take my own advise and apply it to my own home?!?!
No I am not in the market but I thought a few little changes can probably make a difference. So think about it....Is your home feeling tired? Is your home in need of a simple face lift?
Below are a few simple tips which will brighten up any home both inside and out - regardless if you are thinking of selling or just looking for a simple face lift for your home.
Exterior:
1. Change out your mailbox
2. Have a welcome mat
3. Get two planters one for each side of the door - fill with flowers. Mums are great during this time of year.
4. Paint your front door
5. Trim your bushes and get rid of dead branches
Interior:
1. Buy a fresh bouquet of flowers
2. Repaint a room
3. Go through closets and purge what you and /or your family does not use - make a donation
4. Get new towels for your powder room
5. Get a garbage bag and clean out a drawer or two - you'll be amazed how quickly the bag is filled.
Just pick a few of these tips and you will be amazed what a little face lift can do to a home. I strongly believe that - "change is good" and I think that every home deserves a change once in a while too.

What great easy ideas. I was thinking about buying mums yesterday, but didn't get around to it.
Great ideas! Just be careful with the flowers inside for potential buyers with allergies. :)
Judy-
I am all about simple - have you gotten your mums?
Shelley-
Good point I never thought of potential buyers with allergies
Cute post Noah, with good, fresh ideas! I've been meaning to replace the pots by my front door..it's mum season!
Noah -- these are all great tips for anyone, whether they're selling or not. There's nothing like a few changes to re-energize a space and make you feel like you've really accomplished something. (Clearing out the excess "clutter" that we all accumulate in closets, cupboards and drawers is a great thing to do even if only for 10 minutes a day -- before you know it, it'll be done and you'll feel so much better!)

It is incredible how a little effort can make a big difference. Thanks for stopping by.
Noah - I just bought potted mums, two to replace the geraniums in my urns by the front steps and 3 to put on the front flower beds after I trimmed the tired perennials that were there. They make a big difference.
