Winter Curb Appeal

Crafty Ideas for Winter Curb Appeal………

Spruce up the exterior of your home to embrace the transition from Fall to Winter.

Add splashes of Green and Purple.  Plants, grasses and evergreens can liven up a home’s winter landscape.  Late fall and early winter, plants from the cabbage family add a vibrant purple color.  Make the front door the focal point with a large wreath adorned with a colorful ribbon.  You could even put that spotlight you may already have, shine it on the front door and you will be ready when it’s time for the Holiday Wreath!  To finish the look, place large, colorful planters filled with evergreens beside the front door.  More ideas……..
