Home Staging Thursdays: A Few More Curb Appeal Tips

· If you can budget it, a fresh paint job does wonders for a dingy house. (Suggestion: Drive around your town to find color schemes that are appealing)
· Install a more attractive front door, maybe something with leaded glass inserts.
· If you can't rationalize the cost of a new door, consider replacing plain doorknob hardware with something more attractive.
· If new hardware is beyond your budget, repaint or stain the door and polish the hardware.
 
If you brainstorm, you'll find that there's a solution to most problems—one that lets you stay within your budget. The trick is to find the areas where improvements are needed, then work on them as best you can.

The next time you come home, stop across the street or far enough down the driveway to get a good view of the house and its surroundings.
 
1. What is your first impression of the house and yard area?
2. What are the best exterior features of the house or lot? How can anything be improved?
3. What are the worst exterior features of the house or lot? How can you play it down somehow or improve them?
