End of Summer Refresh: Time to Prepare for Fall!

September 4, 2024

As summer winds down, it’s a great time to start preparing your home for the upcoming fall season. Transitioning from summer to fall can be a fun opportunity to refresh your space with cozy accents like warm throws, seasonal candles, and autumn-inspired decor.

It’s also the perfect moment to tackle some essential seasonal maintenance tasks:

  • Clean your gutters: Ensure they’re free of debris to prevent water damage.
  • Check your heating system: Schedule a service to ensure it’s ready for colder weather.
  • Inspect windows and doors: Look for drafts and seal any gaps to improve energy efficiency.
  • Refresh your outdoor space: Clear out summer plants and prepare your garden for fall with hardy plants.

These simple steps can help you embrace the new season comfortably and stylishly.

When people move to Lake Oswego, they often think it’s all about the beautiful homes, top schools, and proximity to Portland.

But what makes people stay?
Morning walks by the lake.
Cafe’s where they know your name.
A downtown that still feels small-town.
Easy access to trails, parks, and water.
Neighbors who look out for each other.
Weekends that unfold without a plan.
That perfect balance of calm and convenience.
A community that feels connected, grounded, and proud to call this place home.
