Budget Curb Appeal
One of the easiest and most noticeable ways to improve your home on a budget is by making updates to improve the curb appeal. When it comes to sprucing up the front of your home, it's all about the details. Using the shape of your home, the plants and bushes you've chosen, and the accent colors in the front door, shutters, and mailbox can make a huge difference in the look and feel of your home.
