• Rearrange the furniture in any room and add just one or two thoughtfully selected accent pieces and completely transform the energy. 
• Find the list of home improvements that have accumulated and start tackling them one by one. There’s an inexplicable rush and excitement that comes from simple things like fixing a leaky faucet or changing the light switch covers in your home. Instead of looking at them as chores, spend a Saturday together perfecting and have fun with it!
• Don’t underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint. Want to feel like you’ve moved into a brand new home? Change the color! Don’t feel limited to painting the same color throughout – create accent walls with pops of color and find great inexpensive art statements on auction sites and thrift shops. 
• Transform a normal door into a picture frame! Print your favorite photos the size of the panes, adhere the photos with a thin layer of Mod Podge (be sure to go over the edges after the photo is in place) and then seal it with a clear UV sealant.
