February – Time for Christmas Decorations to Come Down

As I drive around this weekend. I can not help but notice the number
of houses that still have their Christmas decorations up.  I have to
wonder if these people still have their Christmas decorations up
on the inside of their houses as well.

I follow an Open House sign.  Interestingly enough, it leads to a
house that still has their Christmas decorations up outside.  A
Christmas wreath on the front door, a Christmas mat at the foot of
the door, big red bow on either side of the garage doors, and Christmas
lights which have fallen down in various places and are just hanging.

Inside, there is no Christmas tree, but there are many Christmas
decorations throughout the house in the front hallway as well as
in several other rooms.

Driving around a bit more, I found several more Open Houses
and went inside.  I was happy to see there were no Christmas
decorations in February.

A few attractive, tastefully placed Christmas decorations are
appropriate for the season and make the house more attractive.

It is February, the season is over.  These are things potential home
buyers notice; pride of ownership, upkeep and regular maintenance
and attention to the home.   

Home Staging involves the appropriate use of decorative
accessories on the inside and outside of the house.
