Throw on a fresh coat of paint
We know it can be tedious and you probably rolled your eyes when you read this step; however, a fresh coat of paint can make a house feel brand new. It is a DIY project that makes a dramatic difference. The best part about paint is that it serves so many purposes! Paint your kitchen cabinets; make a statement with a painted fireplace or front door; touch up peeling paint around the house. You can even go crazy and welcome in an accent wall in your living room or bedroom! Not an artist? Do not worry! Follow these steps to paint like a pro.

Clean out your closets
Springtime is right around the corner and we all know what that means. It is almost time for some spring cleaning! This step does not require any tools or cost any money, but it will make you and your home feel much lighter. For this step, take everything out of your closets. Decide what you want to keep, toss, or donate. If you are feeling fancy, invest in some closet organizers or keep it simple and give your closet a good wipe down before putting your “keep” items back in. Need a spring-cleaning checklist?
