Curb Appeal

We can't help slamming on the brakes when we spy picturesque curb appeal. Curb appeal—how charming, beautiful, sweet, or stunning your house appears from the street—can make or break a real estate deal. But it’s so much more than that. Small upgrades like lively flowers and a fresh coat of paint can boost your curb appeal and turn your home into an eye-catching gem. From simple improvements to big garden projects, there are dozens of ways to increase your home’s curb appeal.
