Key Steps to Holiday Home Preparation
Oh, the holidays! Can not believe it’s just a few weeks away! To help tackle the holidays with ease, here are five key steps to prepare your home for the holidays well in advance of December. Here we emphasize proactive planning to avoid last-minute stress and potential setbacks.
Declutter and Organize Holiday Decorations: Begin by sorting through stored decorations, and discarding broken or unwanted items. This prevents unnecessary clutter and ensures you only work with what you need.
Secure Adequate Seating: Determine your guest list early to ensure you have enough seating for your holiday gatherings. Consider renting additional chairs or purchasing folding chairs for easy storage if needed. Order any new dining chairs well in advance to account for potential delivery delays.
Check and Replace Tableware: Inspect your tableware for any damaged or missing pieces. Replace broken items or consider mixing and matching existing dishes, or renting for large gatherings. Thrift stores and estate sales can be great resources for affordable vintage options.
Address Home Repairs and Maintenance: Schedule any necessary home repairs, such as fixing faulty appliances (oven, HVAC, small kitchen appliances) now to avoid potential holiday cooking crises. Addressing these issues early minimizes the risk of last-minute emergencies. And remember to have your house clean. We can help with that! Call 862-305-0916 or book online ahead of the crowd!
