Give Your Charlotte Home a Facelift This Weekend!
April, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.
Maybe your new home doesn’t need any major renovations, but it could sure use a facelift. You can devote one weekend a month to some of these cost-effective home improvement projects until your house finally feels like home! Below are some ideas to get you started or provide inspiration. Follow the links below the pictures for instructions on how to give your home a weekend makeover!
Spray Paint Old Lighting Fixtures
Don’t be so quick to throw out old fixtures. An outdated gold or brassy dining table light could be an easy and affordable fix with the right tools. Change the look of your entire dining room by spray painting the fixture and replacing the bulbs.

Paint The Front Door
Some people prefer a bold pop of color, some people prefer a dark stain. Try looking up some fun color schemes and figure out what would look best with the color of your exterior as well as shutters if your house has them.

Board and Batten
Add some classy elegance to a drab room that simply decorating doesn’t seem to liven up. This might be a more complicated project for the less-than-handy homeowner, but with a little help and elbow grease, this DIY project will completely transform any room.

Refinish Carpet Steps
Rip up the carpet and brush on some stain. Turn your drab staircase into a chic and eye-catching feature in your home. Stairs are a very heavy traffic area in any house, causing carpeted steps get dirty and turn dark quickly. By removing the carpet and adding stain to the top of each step, you will create an overall cleaner image and environment in your home.

Create Some dimension
Stencil on some high gloss paint over flat paint. You can find large stencils at most craft stores. This project is perfect for a small accent wall. The effect works best when both paints are the exact same color.

You don’t always need to knock down walls and spend thousands to give your home a makeover. Always be careful to overlook a home because it seems a little plain–sometimes all it takes is a few weekends and a little paint to make your home feel brand new. When a buyer walks in your home they are looking for reasons to eliminate it. Don’t give them that option! Not sure where to start contact Danielle Edwards and she will guide you with a target list to get your home ready to sell.
