Main – Margo Borkin

Ahhh, spring is here, and with it longer days, warmer temps, and a return to outdoor living. Yesss! Spring also means it’s also time to give that home sweet home a serious once over. To help, here’s an April home maintenance checklist to get you started:⁣
⁣
Declutter, declutter, declutter. Yep, I’m beating that drum…again. You didn't think I’d have a home maintenance checklist without decluttering as numero uno, did you?⁣

Replace air filters and schedule a maintenance check of your cooling system to ensure it’s ready for the steamy months ahead.⁣

Wash windows and doors, and don’t forget your porches. Clean out corner cobwebs and spruce up your front porch or stoop with a colorful wreath, a cutesy welcome mat, and stately planters.⁣

Clean and organize your garage; while you're at it, go on and rinse out your trash cans and recycling bins.⁣

Rent or borrow a pressure washer to give your siding, sidewalk, and driveway a fresh look. Check for widening cracks and chipped paint as you go, making a note to come back and address them later.⁣

Clean and repair your gutters and downspouts to ensure they’re in prime condition for spring downpours.⁣

Test your sprinkler or irrigation system and give that lawnmower a good ole crank. (Trust me, your grass will thank you later!)⁣

Clear brush and fallen limbs away from the house and clean out your beds to make room for spring color.⁣

Sorry, but whoever said, “Three’s a crowd," is just flat out wrong. Truth is, three’s almost always right, especially when it comes to designing and decorating your one-of-a-kind abode. So if you need a memorable motto to guide your next Target or Homegoods run, remember the Power of 3.⁣
⁣
The Power of 3 says that items arranged in odd numbers are most pleasing to our brains and senses. Put it to the test with these tips:⁣
⁣
Group pillows in threes on your couches, beds, or entryway bench.⁣
When selecting fabrics, choose three with distinct but complementary colors, textures, and patterns. Layer fabrics with similar colors.⁣
Place tabletop items of various sizes in groups of three and create gallery walls with an odd number of frames.⁣
When it comes to lighting, odd numbers always work best. For example, hang three pendant lights over a kitchen island or bar (five if the space allows).⁣
