If you ever find yourself listing your home during the winter months, don't forget to add color outside! I know not much is growing, and the lack of green grass and flowers can be down right depressing, but here are some tips.
1. Keep some color in pots on the front and back porches. Even if it for just a couple of months, invest in some pretty pots and some plants specifically for the cooler weather. Often, the first impression that someone has is the one they take away when they walk through the front door. It doesn't hurt to reinforce that impression since they usually go and see the backyard last.
Here is a great article from Southern Living about some advice for what to plant in the winter months.

2. If you don't have a green thumb, think about a colored gazing ball. Keep it very simple, but make a statement with some bold color. For ideas check out Pinterest. Sometimes you can use items you already have!
Here is what I have on my back porch right now. A tall, grass-like plant in a colorful pot.
