Holiday Prep

Tips to get your house holiday ready without last minute stress.

Focus on the main areas of the house that guests will be seeing. Areas you may not think of are the porch and entryways.

-Nice seasonal scents to keep the house smelling great. Make sure not to get heavy smells or too many scents going at once. Some people are very sensitive to certain scents so be sure you can clear the smell out easily if needed.

-Set the table ready. You might already have fancy dishes you bring out on special occasions or maybe now is a good time to invest in some.

-Clean the oven and fridge. This step can avoid an oven catastrophe, and make sure the fridge is ready to store all the holiday food. Quick tip, go through your recipes and see what can be made ahead of time.

-Prep for house guests. Make sure you have room for anyone staying over, clean up the guest bathrooms and make sure to have lots of extra towels, toiletries, pillows, and bedding ready.

-Have small children coming? Make sure you kid proof as best as you can and maybe invest in some cheap baby and toddler friendly dishes. Also, make sure you have food and snacks that are tailored to small guests.

-Clean those floors. Cleaning floors can be a tedious task and take some time. But you can google quick tips from pros on easy floor cleaning methods.

-If you have a fire get the space ready by having wood and fire starter supplies, clean the fire place, set some cozy blankets and pillows around the fireplace to create a nice place for guests to gather.

Easy Halloween Decorations

Halloween is on the top of my list for best holidays! The cooler weather is a welcome change after a dry hot summer, leaves are changing color and lets face it, dressing up is fun for all ages. I try not to go crazy spending time or money on decorating since the holiday seems to come and go so fast.

Here are a few of my DIY affordable Halloween decorating ideas.

-Fill apothecary jars with fall colored candies.
- Banners made from card stock and colorful paper
- Specimen jars filled with colored water and creepy toys
-Turn your yard into a graveyard with headstones made from Styrofoam
cutouts and some spray paint.

This can become a super fun activity to do with the family every year. Stay safe and have fun!

Fall checklist

Fall is my favorite time of year, so much so I don't even mind the to do list to get ready for this magical time of year!

Here are just a few things I like to do before the cold months start:

Fertilize all the trees shrubs and lawn.
Clear out the gutters and make sure they are damage free.
Make certain the down spout attachments are draining away from the foundation.
Check all the insulation around the doors and windows.
I install the Christmas light hooks during the summer and keep them up all year round, this makes it a breeze to throw up the lights.
Clear out my closet of warm summer clothes to make room for cute sweaters.
Donate old coats and boots.

With all the holidays during fall and winter things can get busy, a little prep now can save stress later.

Labor Day To Do

As summer comes to an end many of us are starting the busy season with school and sports, holidays, and everyday tasks. Finding time to get stuff done around the house can be a challenge. This Labor Day make some time between BBQ's and weekend fun to get some things knocked off your to do list. Maybe use the extra long weekend to do some winter prep to your yard and house. Here is a list of a few things you can do.

Organize your closets and junk drawers. Go through your clothes and toss the stuff you don't wear. Cleaning out the junk drawer is instantly satisfying.

Get your grass, trees, plants and shrubs ready for cold winter. The internet can be a great place to see what your yard needs to be winter ready.

Clear out the garage. I like to do this every season, I use my garage to store so much junk it really needs a regular clean out. Plus I really like having the room to park my car inside to avoid the weather.

Update your bathroom. Sprucing up the bathroom can be an easy remodel project that is easy to get done in a weekend and can be very affordable. Keep it simple and do a fresh coat of paint a few new rugs and pretty shower curtain.

Don't forget to spend the long weekend relaxing and enjoying the time with friends and family. Give us a call if you need help hauling off your junk.

Remodel ideas for 2018

Top ideas for remodeling your home

White wash: An all white interior is trending this year. White walls, light colored flooring, white furniture, every hue of white is being used to decorate homes. The clean and simple look is very appealing to home buyers and home owners. Using all white to decorate can really open up any room and give the illusion of light and openness.

Patio on the roof: Apartment complexes have used the space on the roof as an outdoor living space for many years. This trend is now becoming popular with residential homes and people are getting really creative with adding a rooftop patio to their homes.

Open kitchen shelves: This trend has been around for centuries, the closed cupboard came much later. Open shelves can be a lovely addition to any home. Just be prepared to keep those shelves organized and neat, no more hiding the chipped mugs and plates behind closed cupboards.

Smart homes: Unless you live under a rock you know what a smart phone is. More and more people are adapting their homes to a smart house. You can hook up lights, doors, heating/cooling, cameras, security systems, your coffee pot, the possibilities are endless. The best perk for owners of smart homes is the security of monitoring their homes and even the savings from controlling the temperature from their phones.
