August means it's time to get ready for school.
Burlington parents will be setting up their school calendar for 2011/12.
While you are scheduling sports events and after school sessions be sure to work in time to upgrade your home.
Keeping your home up to date on a regular basis makes it so much easier when it comes time to sell.
What sort of things should you be scheduling for yourself while the kids are in school?
How about:
- updating that lighting. Check out the latest in ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, exterior lights and lamps.
- a trip to the paint store. Keep your walls and trims in good shape. Keep the colors current.
- looking for accessories in the latest colors. Changing throw pillow, throws and vases etc can add wow to that neutral envelope.
- taking a good look at that carpeting. Does it need shampooing or stretching. Are there paths worn into it and should be replaced? Giving yourself time to replace flooring slowly is easier on the budget.
- those counter tops , sinks and taps can really date a kitchen or bathroom.
- updating the hardware on cabinets. Together with paint it is an easy way to update kitchens and bathroom vanities.
Schedule time for yourself on that school calendar. Work on those updates and don't forget to stop for a latte.
Once school starts buyers will start focusing on house hunting again. Be ready for them.
