1) Numbers

Consider a font upgrade. The whole world is about calligraphy and lettering now. Why not give your house numbers a new look? Try to match your new house numbers with the finish that is on your exterior light fixtures.

2) Mailbox Makeover

Paint it or get a new one. There are kits you can buy online. Pinterest has a lot of creative ideas. If you have a simple mailbox mounted on your house, this home improvement project should take less than an hour to complete. If you have a full-size mailbox on the road, plan for at least two hours or so to complete the project.

3) Accessorize

Replace your front door, or paint your front door, replace, or paint door knobs, add a fancy door knocker, get a new welcome mat, place a seasonal wreath on your front door. Get a new doorbell.

4) Plants

Go green, get rid of any plants that have decided to brown. Nothing is more welcoming than flowers. Fill pots and hanging planters with colorful blooms. Try giving your potted plants height and depth. You can make them taller, layer or even stack them and maybe place them on a chair or bench. For a smaller entryway use a vertical planter.

5) Yard

Clean your yard. Prune your bushes, trim any low-hanging tree branches, and cut down any overgrown hedges. You’ll first need to do a primary cleanup of your property. That would entail removing dead leaves, fallen branches, trash, and picking up any of your dog’s “business.” Grab a garbage bag, a pair of gloves, and start trash picking. It’s also important to remove any clutter on the outside of your home. This could include toys in the yard, your garden gnome collection, and broken patio furniture. Create a minimalistic, yet inviting, space outside your home.
