Spring has sprung, ladies and gentlemen.  Does your home look a little drab after a long winter.  Choose any one or all three of these simple weekend projects to brighten up your home's appearance for Springtime.

Brighten up Your Front Door

The front door of your home should be the most inviting aspect of its facade, welcoming guests inside.  A cheerful coat of paint in a fresh complimentary or contrasting color is an easy way to spruce up for spring.  If painting isn't really your speed, a unique wreath will do the trick.  Wreaths can be made from traditional vines and flowers, to more whimsical ideas like wood, ribbon, or even objects like garden tools and sand shovels.  Your front door is a great place to represent your family's personality, so have fun with it.

Window Boxes add a Pop of Color

Nothing says spring like flowers.  Window boxes can be purchased inexpensively at most any home improvement store, or can be easily custom made for a fun DIY project.  Be sure to maintain your flowers and plants once they are in place with plenty of water.  There are several artificial floral options available as well, if watering is likely to be last on your to do list.

Create a Garden Path with Pavers

A Paver Path is a great way to create visual interest in your yard, and is so much more attractive than a plain concrete sidewalk.  Be sure to prepare a level area before you lay your stones.  There are lots of great instructional videos on youtube that will walk you through the whole process.  Your Paver Path will create a big impact for an afternoon's work.

No need to overhaul the front of your home for Spring each year.  Remember these doable projects for your home's Spring face lift and you'll be sure to impress all season long.
