A Valentine’s Day Gift for You and Your Home in Santa Claus and Petersburg

Valentine’s Day sure has come a long way. A holiday once reserved for couples, it is now celebrated by almost anyone who simply wants to spread a little love, affection, or appreciation. And let’s face it, in today’s world, the more such sharing that goes on, the better for everyone.

So while you’re showering your spouse, children, teachers, neighbors, and even pets with attention this season, don’t forget to let your home know just how much you appreciate it, as well. Here’s how:

• Aromatherapy – Scents can lift our spirits, calm our nerves, and even trigger happy memories. So make sure your home smells its best. Feeling stressed and can’t sleep? Add a drop or two of lavender essential oil to a cotton ball and leave it on your bedside table. Need a pick-me-up in the morning? Skip the coffee and take a whiff of citrus instead. Need a brain booster for that mid-day slump? Add a cinnamon stick to a pot of water and bring it to a boil.

• A Makeover – A complete remodel can be quite costly and time-consuming. But a low-budget makeover can add just the right amount of spark to make you fall in love with your home all over again. Liven up the living room with a fresh coat of paint, install a new bathroom vanity and lighting, or paint those dated kitchen cabinets. You don’t need to spend a lot to improve the look and feel of a space.

• Accessories – Just like a sparkly pair of earrings can complete an outfit, accessories complete the look of any given living space. From cabinet hardware and fixtures, to area rugs and throw pillows, you can easily (and inexpensively) update any room of your home. Use colorful throws, pillows, and artwork to brighten up the family room, or soft, monochromatic tones to turn your bathroom into a relaxing retreat.

• Clean Slate – Sometimes, no matter what we buy or do, we just can’t get our home – or ourselves – out of a mid-winter slump. If your home is feeling and looking a little dull, maybe it’s time for a deep clean. Banish the dust bunnies under your furniture, wash the windows and drapes, and vacuum the heating vents. Scrub tile grout and re-caulk the bath surround.

At the same time, don’t let a nagging plumbing or heating problem keep you up at nights or wondering what on earth to do about it. Instead, we invite you contact Messmer Mechanical so we can professionally troubleshoot the problem before giving you several options how to fix the problem or fill a pressing need. We’re sure to come up with the exactly the right solution for your home and budget – this Valentine’s Day season or anytime at all.
