I’M ALWAYS READY FOR SPRING by the end of January, but, alas, it doesn’t typically arrive here in the Midwest until mid-April or beyond. But that doesn’t stop me from daydreaming about how I can improve the curb appeal of my home for warmer weather, what flowers I can try to grow this year and what cleaning projects I can tackle.
In this issue, we hope to inspire you to look at your own home’s curb appeal with a keen eye. Does your home say, “Come on in, friend!” or does it say, “Beware, we might bite”? Even if your home is small or an apartment with a just a tiny entryway, you can make it inviting. Turn to page 22 for a few of our favorite exterior finds that can add special allure.
