The little things...

It is the little things that can make a huge difference. We are in the design process for a new spec home to be constructed and one of the first attempts was just not floating my boat. Too blah, or vanilla as some would say. Since it is a spec home it needs to pop and stand out to potential buyers.

After sending it back for revisions we came up with the image below. Imagine driving by, both houses are priced the same, which would you go for? If you say the first one, booo. ;) The one below looks like a completely different home, yet it is the exact same with minimal changes. We added simple batten work around the windows and an eyebrow roof line over the front entrance. Total additional cost, less than $1K, yet priceless with the improvement to the curb appeal.

It comes down to the little things. Enjoy your hump day. Mel :)
