Curb Appeal – Making a Good Impression
By Beryl Westby
Take a good look at the front of your house. You probably have a hard time seeing what others see because you are too close to be objective. Walk across the street and take another look, pretending you are a visitor. What people see when they pass by your house is their impression of the rest of your house. A home that is clean and welcoming has curb appeal.

Here are some common mistakes that are easily corrected and will make your house more appealing:
Trash cans. Put the trash cans and recycle bins out of sight. Put them in the garage or shed or at least behind the house. Bikes, trikes and big wheels. Establish a storage area for children’s toys and make a point of putting away outside toys at the end of play time.
