1. Paint your front door
It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint on a front door can do to transform the look and feel of an entire home!  It's amazing!  Whether your current front door color just needs a little sprucing up, or you want to start over- don't forget to give your front door the needed love and attention it deserves!  Pick a fun color that pops if you really want to make a statement!

2. Get new house numbers
Match them to the style of your home, and get new, larger house numbers.  They look great from the street and really make a home look put together.

3. Switch up your hardware 
Refresh your front door with not only paint, but also a new handle and door knocker!  Your door will look brand new, and you won't be out that much money, either.  Simple change, big results.

5. Hang up an American flag
If this is literally the only thing you do to give your house a little more curb appeal, it will work!  I'm amazed at how a home always looks about 10 times more charming if it has an American flag hanging from the porch.  Perfect way to bring on summer!

6. Clean up the landscape
Take a day or two to really give your yard some TLC.  Trim all the trees and bushes, pull all the weeds and renew your garden edges, mow and trim the grass, etc. Clean up the landscape and your house will look like a million bucks!
