You’d never want a quick and cheap face lift for your actual face, but how about for your home? Check out these eight easy and cheap projects you can do this weekend for under $50!
1. Paint your front door. Your door sets the tone for your home, don’t let that tone be blah. Pick a color that makes you happy, or get a feng shui chart to pick a color that evokes emotion.
Cost: $25
2. Shine up your house numbers. Your house numbers are the nametag for your home, don’t let them make your house look bad! Purchase the giant metal letters for a mod punch.
Cost: $10-20
3. Give your mailbox a makeover. Still working with a cracked plastic mailbox? Pick up a sturdy metal one and customize it with some fun paint colors!
Cost: $30
4. Furnish your porch. Head to your hardware store and find the sale furniture in a heinous color, buy a can of spray paint and go to town creating a color coordinated seating area.
Cost: $40-50
5. Paint the porch. Peeling, gross porch? No one wants that! Sand it, paint it, seal it for a huge improvement.
Cost: $30 and a sunny weekend
6. Let there be light. A little light makes everything brighter. Install a new fixture with the help of your handiest friends.
Cost: $50
7. Pot the plants. Potted plants are great because you can hardly mess them up. Buy them blooming and pre-potted and just transfer the plants to prettier pots.
Cost: $30-$50
8. Bring in the flowers. Plant some perennials right along your curb near your mailbox for a welcome pop of lush color.
Cost: Under $10
