Curb Appeal in March

While out on the weekend, I couldn't help but notice
a house that was listed for sale.  The owner had made
an attempt to stage the exterior front of the house.

In Ontario it's a tricky time to decorate the exterior
of your house.  It's too late for Christmas decorations
and too early to start planting or putting out the patio
furniture.

This home owner had purchased bright yellow plastic
daffodils. The daffodils were in bouquets.  Even though
it is still too early for daffodils, if the owner had strategically
placed a few bouquets in appropriate locations...it might
have been acceptable.

The home owner had however used so many of these
plastic bouquets, that this front yard looked like an
advertisement for the Cancer Society.

To accompany the daffodils, were brightly colored little
animals, again not just one or two strategically place,
but families of animals.

If your not sure how to give your home curb appeal,
it's a good idea to drive around and see what others have
done that is visually appealing, look in magazines, or go
to you local home improvement store or garden centre
and ask the sales clerk.

In Home Staging...often less is more.
