While the weather is still too chilly to spend much time outdoors, this is a great time to focus your energy on sprucing up your Smith Mountain Lake home so that it’s ready for all the activity, hosting and entertaining you’ll do this summer. And we mean more than just giving it a good clean – fixing those minor problems, refreshing the interiors and opening up space will go further than what the mop and broom can accomplish. Here are a few ideas for bringing the best out of your home for summer time from this helpful article on forbes.com
De-Clutter
As you switch your wardrobes and peruse storage for swimming accessories, seize the opportunity to de-clutter the closets and spaces you’re holding on to one too many items. Collect a pile to give away and another to contribute to your own, or a friend’s, yard sale.
Paint to Please
Fresh paint is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to give your home new glam. Spend a weekend putting new color on the walls that need it most.
Consider the Carpets
Rent a carpet cleaner from a local hardware store and be amazed at the outcome of deep carpet cleaning.
Accessorize
Many rooms aren’t quite up to par without the proper accessories. Do some shopping for throw pillows, blankets, candles and accent pieces that will add a pop of color or style to the rooms that are a little boring.
