and life into your outdoor space.
Trays of perennials are very inexpensive at this time of year and will add a very nice seasonal touch to the area.
Giving the front door, windows and garden furniture a fresh lick of paint will also give your home a clean and bright look. Be careful not to buy very cheap paint however as most outdoor surfaces tend to get quite a beating from the elements with cheaper paints tending to fade and flake more quickly.
If however the weather fails to live up to our hopeful expectations, as it often does then perhaps an internal improvement project would be a more sensible prospect to undertake.
There seems to be something in the air at this time of year which gives homeowners the desire to re-decorate or spruce up tired looking rooms in their houses.
