This Weekend: Refresh An All-Important Feature This Fall
In the winter, your home’s windows work hard. Hopefully you’ve prepped them for the cold (and if not, weatherize first)! Because windows let in precious light and help you connect to the outside world during dark, bleak months. Make them more valuable by washing the glass, swapping out your old curtains for some new ones, cleaning the ones you have, or adding a refreshing little detail. Daylight hours are dwindling and all this helps really make the most of what you’ve got.
This Weekend’s Assignment: Make your windows the very best they can be.
Come Clean: Before you do anything else, wipe or squeegee away all the dirt and grime that summer left behind.
Get More Out of Your Windows: Make these features really work for you and your home, and get maximum value from them!
