Getting Your House Ready for Holiday Guests
If you're like many families around the country, you'll be gathering together around the dinner table for lots of food and fellowship this week. Thanksgiving brings everyone together, and while that's a great thing, it can also mean that you'll have a lot of preparations to make around your home. At Gattermeir Davidson, we not only want to help you find a home, but then make it a great environment for all types of entertaining. Here are a several ways you can get your home ready for the many guests that are likely to be around this week. Even if you can only do a couple of them, they will make a difference!
20. Wipe down the mirrors.
19. Make your bed.
18. Remove the clutter from surfaces.
17. Light a candle.
16. Set some snacks out - save yourself time by buying some.
15. Display the snacks on a tray.
14. Clean out your sink and put the dishes in the dishwasher.
13. Take out the trash.
12. Brew some coffee. The scent will create a warm and welcoming environment.
11. Keep the toilet paper stocked in all bathrooms.
10. Wipe the sink and toilet with disinfecting wipes.
9. Use cloth napkins.
8. Place fresh flowers around your home.
7. Give your sofa pillows a little shake.
6. Straighten the entryway, it's where first impressions happen.
5. If it has a door, close it. Cabinets, closets, even bedrooms.
4. Turn down the lights. Dim lighting sets a fun mood, and hides the details you couldn't attend to.
3. Turn on some tunes.
2. Welcome your guests with drinks.
1. Don't apologize for the state of your home. This only draws attention to the mess and makes it obvious.
During your merriment, if you find that your home is too small for the festivities and you are ready to upgrade - we can help! Gattermeir Davidson has been providing the best real estate at the Lake of the Ozarks for many years, and whether you find that you need more space, less space, or even a second space - like a vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks, we can help.
The entire team at Gatermeir Davidson hopes that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with friends or family, and should you need any assistance with real estate, give us a call, or visit our website!
