Take a day this weekend and spruce up your front porch. It’s a project that will pay off with a smile every time you come home.
First, clear everything off.
What’s malingering on your front entry area? Boots, pots of dead plants from last year, seasonal decor? Put away the gear. Dump out and set the pots aside.
Set aside any decorative items. Now’s the time to assess the look of this area and decide on a color scheme.
Give everything a good scrubbing.
Sweep the ceiling, walls and floor.
Clean off the door hardware, house numbers, mailbox.
Clean the light fixture, including the bulb.
If you have a window in the door, clean it.
