House to Home

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Elite

Once you buy a house, how do you turn that house into a home?  Here are some quick and timeless tips on making this happen.

1.  Furniture: You want to make sure that your furniture is comfortable and that you want to spend time in it. Get a comfortable couch with accent pillows that is welcoming to all who enter your home. Don't be afraid to mix your furniture up. Incorporate heirloom pieces or pieces that you love with your décor.  Not only are these conversation pieces, but the memories they bring to your life are invaluable.

2. Photos: Display photos of your family and friends proudly in your home.  Photos give personality to your home and will fit in with any décor. Friends and family know they hold a special piece of your heart when they come into your home and see pictures of themselves.  And what a great way for you and they to remember great times together.

 3. Landscape: The outside of your home is an important as the inside of your home. Plant a garden to show off your green thumb and share what you have grown during family gatherings.  If you enjoy basketball, golf or swimming, put in a recreation court, a putting green or a pool.  Use colorful pots to plant flowers and plants in on the patio to show off your favorite colors.

A HOME is a reflection of your personality and the love that grows there.  Have fun, be creative and BE YOU!
