CURB APPEAL IN A DAY: EASY EXTERIOR UPGRADES THAT WOW
First impressions count, and the good news is you don’t need weeks of work or a huge budget to boost your home’s curb appeal. These easy exterior upgrades can be done in a single day — perfect for giving your home that wow factor fast. HOUSE NUMBERS Swapping out faded or outdated house numbers for large, modern ones is a quick upgrade that adds instant polish. Look for styles that are bold, easy to read from the street, and complement your home’s exterior. Mount them in a highly visible spot so visitors and delivery drivers can find your house easily. 
WINDOW BOXES Adding window boxes filled with vibrant flowers or greenery is a surefire way to bring color and charm to your home’s facade. Choose plants that suit your climate and sun exposure, and securely attach the boxes below front-facing windows. For a fuller look, mix trailing plants with upright blooms. PORCH LIGHTING Upgrading your porch lights or cleaning up your current fixtures can make a big difference. Fresh lighting not only makes your entry safer at night but also highlights your home’s best features. Consider fixtures with energy-efficient bulbs and styles that match your home’s character. MAILBOX A weathered mailbox can drag down your home’s curb appeal. Whether you paint it, replace it entirely, or add new address decals, a refreshed mailbox sets a neat, welcoming tone right at the curb. Choose colors that complement your exterior for a coordinated look. DOORMAT Something as simple as a fresh doormat can make your entryway feel more inviting. Pick a mat that’s durable and easy to clean, and choose a design or message that reflects your home’s style. This small change offers a warm welcome to guests before they even step inside. GARDEN EDGING AND MULCH Creating crisp, clean edges around your garden beds helps define your landscaping and gives it a finished look. Use a spade or edging tool to create neat borders, then spread fresh mulch to tie it all together. Mulch not only looks great, it helps retain moisture and keep weeds at bay. 
DRIVEWAY AND WALKWAY CLEANING A clean driveway and walkway can brighten up your entire front yard. Rent or borrow a pressure washer to remove grime, stains, and dirt that have built up over time. If a pressure washer isn’t available, a stiff brush and soapy water can still do wonders. Each of these projects can be completed in a day and delivers a big curb appeal payoff. Choose one or two, or tackle them all — and enjoy the instant improvement.
