4. Put Up Flower Boxes

While you’re hunkering down inside during COVID-19, get a little fresh air outdoors, and think about beautifying your home’s front-facing windows. Make sure you have a comfortable heavy-duty mattress ready for you at night time.

Flower boxes are a simple, inexpensive, and gorgeous way of putting your home on display. You can build your own pair, or order a couple online, and put them up. Window boxes come in all types of materials from wood to wrought iron to PVC and fiberglass. They can really be added anywhere but putting them underneath the window gives you easy access for upkeep.

You will find easy how-to directions on YouTube and the internet on exactly what steps to take to make this simple and fun for you and your family to do.

A flat of flowers only costs about $10 and will add lovely curb appeal as they are placed inside the boxes. You can even grow them from seeds if you want to.

5. Modernize Your Fridge

Stainless steel appliances remain hot trends that give every kitchen large or small a sleek, contemporary look. Maybe your refrigerator needs an update, but buying a new one in stainless steel is out of your budget for the time being. That’s okay because you can do it yourself.

Whoever invented the faux stainless-steel painted finish is a genius. For about $55, you can paint your fridge with a quart of liquid stainless steel base coat. Now, you can get a high-end look without the high-end price tag. It is a great way to save money but also add some style to your kitchen.

Paint pros advise letting the stainless steel paint dry, waiting two hours, and then applying at least one layer of clear topcoat. Each layer of topcoat will boost the shine on the stainless steel finish. This will give it that brand new look and can make your fridge look extra sleek.
