Ten Low-Cost Fixes to Spruce Up Your Home


Now that the holiday decorations are put away for another year (they are, aren't they!) take a look around your home. A little work here and there will make a big difference. You don't have to spend a fortune to spruce up your home. Just paying attention to some of the smaller details can make a huge impact right away. Here are 10 inexpensive tips:


  1. Trim bushes so they don't block windows and cut down on light.

  2. Buy a new doormat.

  3. Put a pot of bright flowers (or a small evergreen in winter) on your porch.

  4. Upgrade the outside lighting.

  5. Polish or replace your house numbers.

  6. Clean your gutters.

  7. Buy new pillows for the sofa.

  8. Make a centerpiece for your table with fruit or artificial flowers.

  9. Replace heavy curtains with sheer ones that let in more light.

  10. Clean. Everything and anything. (We started with the inside of the refrigerator!)

Let us know what you do, and how you feel when it's done. Send a picture if you can.
