After reading our Curb Appeal blog from last week, do you feel like you're looking for a bit more?

In today's blog, we will be sharing some of our favorite exteriors!

A simple pendant or sconce added to your exterior makes this front entryway look designed and intentional. It serves as a wayfinding device for visitors and highlights your front door and your porch's best features. Having light above or to the side lets your visitors know what you are welcoming them into their home.
