When you have a home, there are so many things that you just don't consider. They are, if you will, the little things that make a big difference in your home! Little things aren't just limited to the things within the home or those things being little. Both of the things are going to be blown out of the water as you continue to read. You see, the little things that I'm talking about aren't small in size, but rather are those things around your home, that can and do make a big difference in your home, but are things that most people don't talk about. So let's get started.
First things first, when you first walk up to a home, you will notice 3 things, even if you don't realize it. You will notice their yard, their windows and their front door.
The yard! How well taken care of is it? Do they leave trash all over the ground? Are there weeds growing taller than the home, are there any signs of life, that show the beauty of the home, by way of the yard. There are a few things that can be done to transform a yard, without putting up a fence that says, "you're not welcome here!" Some simple things that you can do to improve your yard, are grow boxes, grass, lighting, fountains and windows. Grow boxes can be used to put borders around your yard, designs in them, and have gardens where vegetables and more can abound.
Water fountains, either in the front yard, add dimension, beauty and elegance. Depending on how fountains are used, they can add a great deal of privacy for you and relaxation as well. If you have problems where you live at with noise, you can use them to block the traffic that goes by. Fountains are a simple thing, but make a massive difference.
Grass! Yes, grass! Does your yard say that you can run your toes through it, or does it say put stilts on, your entering the sticky and painful zone? Having a yard that's grass is rich in color welcomes even the biggest skeptic to your home. It's well manicured and well detailed. It says I care about all those that come here, as well as myself. It says it's kids-of-all-ages welcome zone and you can come on in! Grass, it's a small thing, that makes a big difference!
What about your lighting? Have you considered when someone walks up to your home at night, that it might be dark and scary? Or have you added outside lights to your home, that give your home the warmth that not only you want, but that your guest will want to? It's a little thing, and it doesn't have to cost much! I bought mine from a dollar store, and was able to line my walkway in such a way that I never have to worry is someone going to trip and fall. Yes, there are those that have no desire to go into dollar stores, so you can go to the professionals and have them decide on the color of lights, where they can be placed and more. There is something for everyone in the lighting business.
Your windows and doors. These are placed together, because they really go hand in hand. These make a huge statement about you and your taste. Everything from solid wood doors that are hand crafted and engraved, to weather proofing screens, all make a major statement to those that come your way. There are many different styles, weatherproofing and thickness in your windows that can make a difference in your home. Also consider having your windows professionally cleaned!
All of these things are considered to be little things, but when you add them all up. When you change them little by little, they will and do make a big difference in your home, and its appearance. They tell your friends and family that you care about them and your home. Remember, you don't have to start big, you can start with something small like grow boxes or you can jump right in and do new windows.
