 How To Create More Curb Appeal - Faith Videos

The small tasks below can be done over the weekend or in just a couple of minutes. You can get the family to join in on the fun too. Quick, easy, AND fun? Sounds good to me.

Plant Flowers

Bright flowers can liven up the exterior of your home very nicely. You don't need to spend a lot of money on exotic flowers; even the cheapest, low maintenance flowers will do just fine. Some suggestions are Petunias, Marigolds, Sweet Alyssum, Zinnias or Bachelor's Buttons.

Mixing in bright colors like orange, yellow, and pink give a more cheerful appearance to the home than darker purples and blues. Either is acceptable and beautiful; it depends how they will look with the exterior color of your house.

Some great places for flower accents are under windows in a flower box, in clay pots around the porch or doorway, and in plant beds around a tree or walkway. If you keep them well watered, they will make your house look very valuable.

Take a trip to your local garden center. The associates there will be able to assist you in making the best choice for your purpose and region you live in. Here's a good tip: annuals are cheaper than perennials, so they'll be perfect for a project like this.

Replace Your House Numbers

This may seem like a rather small task but it will make a difference when it comes to improving the exterior look of your home. It's especially important if your house numbers are missing, if they are not easy to see or are just old and need to be replaced.

If you like painting and your house numbers are carved into the exterior of your home, then this project will be great for you. All you have to do is clean out the grooves and add a little paint. Make sure it's a crisp color so the numbers can be seen from the street.

A fun way to do this is to use a sponge brush from a craft or hardware store. Just dip the sponge into a paint color that contrasts with your home and carefully apply to the grooves. When you're finished, the fresh paint will really have a big impact on the front of your home.

If your house numbers are mounted on the exterior of your home by the door or above the garage, you can paint those as well. Just unmount them, clean them, set them on some newspaper, and apply a fresh coat of spray paint. Make sure they are completely dry before re-mounting.

If the numbers are worn and rusty, it's makes a lot more sense to just replace them. There are many current styles to choose from that will match any home. They're also very inexpensive.

The same goes for numbers that are on your mailbox. If they are incomplete, torn or weathered, replace them or stencil new ones onto the mailbox. It's a cheap and easy improvement to your home.

Use these fun, easy, and quick suggestions and you will see a BIG difference in the look of your home. As mentioned, they're small tasks but will greatly increase the value of your home.
