STAGING TIPS THAT SPRING TO MIND

If you’re thinking of selling your home, there’s no time like springtime!

Home sales usually surge in the spring as the fresh air and sunny weather encourage people to fix up their homes and check out what else is on the market. Here are a few ways to take advantage of spring fever:

Curb Appeal
Spring weather will bring out the best in your yard so trim your shrubs, rake the lawn and add a few flower pots by the front door.

Clutter Control
Go through any unused items and decide what needs to be tossed out and what can be donated to charity.

Spring Fling
Once you’ve decluttered, freshen up your home inside and out with a thorough spring clean.

Wide Open
Clean and then open your windows so the sun shines in and fresh spring air flows throughout your home.

Flower Power
Place a few vases of fresh-cut flowers throughout your home to bring the natural feel of spring indoors.

Pillow Talk
Inject vitality into your space by swapping out couch cushions, towels and throws with shades that reflect the spring season.

Outdoor Living
People are entertaining more at home than ever before so extend your inside space outdoors with comfortable seating and ambient lighting.

If you plan on putting your home on the market, use the spring season to highlight its best features so it stands out from the competition.

You only have one chance to make a great first impression, so clear out the cobwebs and watch your home spring to life!

A BARREL OF FUN IN K-W!

Earth Day is the perfect time to pick up a rain barrel, or two!

On Monday, April 22nd, Earth Day will be celebrated around the world, including right here in Kitchener-Waterloo!

Earth Day is the perfect time to pick up a rain barrel so that you can start collecting naturally pure rainwater to use in your garden. Here are some of the many advantages of having a rain barrel:

Watered Down
Rainwater can be used for watering plants which will reduce your water bills.

Right As Rain
Your houseplants will thrive as rainwater is naturally soft and chemical-free.

Breathe Easy
Rainwater contains more oxygen than tap water which promotes plant growth.

Don’t Run Off
Rain barrels reduce stormwater runoff which helps prevent erosion and pollution.

Rain Or Shine
Rain barrels provide a sustainable water source during droughts or water restrictions.

If you already have a rain barrel, make sure it’s securely connected to your downspouts, clear of debris and that the overflow drain points away from your foundation.

If you don’t already have a rain barrel, Earth Day is the perfect time to pick one up. That way, you’ll be able to cash in on the April showers!

Whatever you end up doing this Earth Day, here’s hoping you have a world of fun and a barrel of laughs!
