We're hearing a lot about curbside pick-ups these days; how about a curbside pick-me-up that adds curb appeal to your home! Sometimes, getting outside and working on a project is just the thing to take your mind off all that's going on in the world. After all, at home doesn't have to mean inside. So, go on and enjoy a little fresh air and sunshine. And, if you can tackle a project that makes your home look great, even better.
Adding to the curb appeal of your home doesn't have to take a lot of time or money. Sometimes even the smallest of things, such as changing the numbers on your home or adding some hardware to your garage door, can really help your home stand out.
Our team REALTORS® have come up with some of the things you can tackle right now that make a big difference when it comes to showing off the outside of your home.

Since mid-March, we’ve been called upon to Stay Home in an effort to help flatten, or plank, the curve and keep our hospitals from becoming over-run. And, we're doing a good job.
Collectively, our community has been decorating our homes in hearts and messages that offer hope and support (visit whiteheartproject.com to send messages to healthcare workers and to download a heart template for your own home), children have been making beautiful chalk drawings on their driveways and sidewalks, people have dusted off the board games and puzzles, and have been tackling DIY house projects. Most are spending more time at home than ever before.
Here at Nyrose & Associates, HOME is our specialty. That's why we’re creating a series of tips and ideas to help you AT HOME.
