The front door and window sills are painted a warm red. The red contrasts beautifully with the pink and cream to bring out the architectural details of the home yard machines by mtd. The rule of thumb is to have three colors on the outside of a home. New seating on the porch and the lack of the security bars help to make a great first impression and the longest yard. Remember, security bars without a quick-release option can be a fire hazard, so when selling a house, retro fit the bars for safety, or remove completely.
The sod is rolled out like a welcome mat — fresh green grass appeals to buyers. Multi-levels were cut into the tiny hillside. Stone steps lead to the upper level, where a bench and new plantings make an inviting sanctuary. Yellow flowers and plantings are used because yellow evokes an emotion of buying.
