From recent freezing temperatures, warmer weather is just around the corner and here are my best tips to prepare your home for spring.
While shopping over the weekend for fresh, new accessories for my new listings, I went into Home Goods to see what they were featuring this spring.
First of all, I love the feeling I get when I walk into Home Goods. They know how to get you in the mood to shop. It’s the same trick I use for all of my new listings. Home Goods and I both know we’ve got a short time to grab the buyer while they are present and either they’ll buy or they’ll move on. I call it the 10 second rule. It’s based on grabbing the buyer within 10 seconds of entering a house.
Home Goods is bright, full of happy music, and the colors throughout the store are outstanding. Furthermore, it’s such a pick-me-up and an incredible feeling. I love their bright cheery dishes, pillows, springtime furniture and outdoor cushions. It makes me want to buy everything in the store and give my own home a spring makeover.
I also love Home Goods for doormats and front door wreaths. They are bright, colorful, and full of life. The spring season is the best time for a change. It’s like starting over new again. In addition, you get a new lease on life and your home deserves this as much as anything. For that very reason, you will reap the benefits from your mini spring home makeover.
How to Stand Out
This week while working on a couple of houses, I thought about what would make us stand out from our competition. Both houses had substantial front porches so I decided with the new season and the energy in the air, I wanted to focus on the porch and really hone in on the curb appeal to draw people inside.
As a result, at one of the houses I added a new spring doormat, a fresh wreath and added new pillows to the homeowner’s glider. The most fabulous part of this house was the screened-in back porch! After all, who doesn’t want a porch? My buyer, Ashley, (what’s a girl to do with a pedestal sink?) bought a house with a porch and without that pedestal sink a few years ago. I hope she’s taking time to enjoy her porch – especially this upcoming spring season!
Here are My 11 Best Tips to Prepare Your Home for Spring
- Paint your front door
- Add an expensive pot filled with colorful flowers next to the door
- Find a pretty new wreath and hang it on your front door
- Get some new house numbers
- Change out your mailbox (if it’s on the house) or paint it to match the color of your door
- Add some dark mulch to your flower beds
- Shop somewhere like Home Goods and buy a few new colorful accessories for inside
- Buy some new pillows for your couch
- Paint a room (or the entire interior of your house)
- Throw out last year’s outdoor cushions and get some new brightly colored ones that will cheer you up on a daily basis
- Buy a new umbrella for your outdoor table
We had a cold winter in Kansas City. Therefore, it’s time to live life to the fullest and enjoy spring. Whether you’re selling and want to create the model home look or dwelling and need help zinging your home into spring, you can call me direct or text me at (913) 515-3250 or get started here.
