Cost-Effective Curb Appeal Projects

April 19, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

Cost-effective curb appeal projects for your home

Cost-effective curb appeal projects that won’t break the bank

April, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

Fix up the exterior of your newly purchased home without emptying your wallet, or get your home in shape to sell without having to hire anyone to do the work for you. Sometimes all it takes is cleaning things up a bit, adding a few accents, or hiding unsightly items in your front yard. Below are some DIY ideas on how to make the most out of your home with just a few cost-effective curb appeal projects.

1. Update your garage door

Even if the exterior of your home is well-maintained or new, a dirty or drab garage door could take away from your home’s curb appeal. This cost-effective curb appeal project will help you transform your home, just by adding some paint or a few pieces of hardware.

  • Option One: Add some gel stain to make your garage door look like it’s made out of beautiful wood. You can even re-stain your front door to match. Learn how here.Cost-effective curb appeal projects

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Option Two: Add brackets to your garage door to add some character. This can be done for as little as $10! Click here for a tutorial.

2. Dress up your foundation

If the foundation of your home is less-than-appealing, it’s an easy fix! Simply add some stone to the foundation to add some curb appeal, plant some shrubs, or add stucco. All 3 can be done for a low price. You can find more foundation-improvement ideas for added curb appeal here.

3. Update your mailbox

Your mailbox is the first thing people see from the road. Ditch the tiny black mailbox on a stick and add some stone and elegant numbers to the front instead. This can be accomplished in about a day, and is less expensive than buying a brand new mailbox! To add some extra pizzazz, plant some flowers at the base.

5. Add or update molding on your front door

Your front door ties together the aesthetic for your entire home, it’s important to make sure that it contributes to the curb appeal for your home. You can add some cost-effective curb appeal just by either adding some molding around your front door, or by updating the existing molding. For DIY instructions, click here.

Weekend Home Makeover Tips – DIY

April 11, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

How to Give Your Home A Weekend Makeover

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.
