Imagine a guest standing at your front door, waiting for you to answer. What is your porch telling them what they will find inside?
If they are looking at dirt, ding and cobwe, the message will not be good. So before adding flowers, furniture or seasonal decorations, start with a good scrub. Remove everything and wash every surface including the front doors, windows, light fixtures and railings. Stir or wash the dormat, touch the sticky paint and replace the ripped screen. Even the smallest, the Humblest Porch will welcome you – for you and your guest – if it is clean, streamlined and good repair.
Once your location becomes clean and unclear, you will have a clear understanding whether it requires it a simple spriging-up or call for more sufficient remodel. For large design or construction projects, consider listing a supporter, many of which can be found on the hose.
