Something Is Missing
Curb appeal. You know it when you see it because you feel it. But, what is it exactly?
This is what we call the blank stare. You look at a house from the street and it doesn't look back at you. It doesn't speak to you. It doesn't say anything to your heart like "welcome to the neighborhood." Maybe it says (in a ragged whisper) "help me, please."

Feel The Love
So there it is. That one modest improvement brings the admiration of passersby, makes you proud, welcomes you home after a long hard day. Sometimes seeing what you expect to see is comforting and inviting.
