Porch Furniture Can Boost Curb Appeal

<h1>Porch Furniture Can Boost Curb Appeal</h1>

<p align=right>by Kathy Moran</p>

<div align=justify>We all know that the term, “curb appeal,” is used to refer to the desirability of a home, when viewed by passersby, especially prospective buyers.  For many, a house’s first impression influences the decision about whether or not to look inside.   That’s understandable.  What’s puzzling is why some people never think about the way that their homes appear to the rest of the world, until it’s time to sell them.  Then, it’s a race against time to turn the house, and its grounds, into a showplace, as everything, from the shingles to the shutters, to the plants, to the <a href="http://www.cedarstore.com">porch furniture</a>, is given a makeover.<p>To avoid this last-minute rush, it’s a good idea to keep the house looking great from the beginning.  Although most of us are pretty good about the maintenance of things that regularly have to be changed, cleaned, and cut, there are many little things that sneak up, unnoticed.  Keeping up with these things will give you a great head start, if you ever decide to sell your home, a place that will be gorgeous forever, if that’s how long you intend to live there, or a landlord who will love you, if you’re a renter.<p>One of the reasons that things catch us by surprise is that, seeing our homes and yards every day, we get used to the way that they look.  So, that tiny spot of mildew that was hardly noticeable when you first moved in, can grow so gradually, that you may not pay attention to it until it has gotten out of hand.  To see your house in the same way that a potential buyer would, park across the street, every so often, and approach it, as if for the first time.  Take note of the best and worst exterior features, and how you can enhance, improve, or eliminate them.  Suddenly, you will notice the mildew, the dirty windows, the dingy siding, the cluttered porch, the sagging gutters, and all of those extra garden tools lying in the yard.  You will clearly see what needs to be cleaned, painted, and repaired, in order to boost your home’s curb appeal.<p>When sprucing up the front of your house, don’t forget that the porch furniture is just as important as the porch itself.  Even with a fresh paint job, new gutters, and hanging plants, run-down furniture can make it look shabby.
