Monday-Friday Tasks
- Take pictures and stand back for a different view of your outdoor space
- Plan for a major clean-up
- Do you need more plants and flowers, pots? Pillows?
Saturday Morning (early)
- No procrastination-clear the decks
- Without obstructions, you can imagine something NEW
- Sweep, hose off surfaces, trim and prune
- Mulch if needed in nearby areas; are your gutters clean?
Saturday Afternoon Checklist
- Furniture-paint?
- Cushions and pillows? Add colors like reds, yellows, lime and blue
- What about an outdoor rug? Stripes or bordered to frame the area
- Colorful pots in interesting shapes and sizes for added interest
Sunday Finale
- Plant the pots if you didn’t get to that Saturday
- Rearrange the furniture and think about your views
- Add the cushions and pillows + outdoor rugs
- Celebrate your hard work!
