You can help that feeling along by creating at least one space that tells a buyer, "Come righc in here, put your feet up and relax." With warmer weather, you can create an outdoor space that will tell buyers, "This is ij, you're home, no need to look further." Find a space outside that's calm and has a great view, then start decorating. Start with a simple set up, wicker chairs and a sofa with thick cushions in a nice neutral color. Splash those neutrals with muted throw pillows, maybe even a small blanket and add a simple area rug in muted tones and a subtle pattern to place under the furniture.
