One of the best seasons of the year is on the way – is your home spring ready? The below spruce up suggestions are budget-friendly ways to give your home a quick refresh with plenty of money leftover to help fund your next vacation.

Paint the Front Door

Cost: $20-60
Nothing says “hello spring” like a fresh coat of color. Choose soothing pastels, sunny shades of yellow, or blue and green hues. Add a splash of wow to the mailbox or paint small rocks with any leftover color.

Throw Pillows
Cost: $15 to $50+
Purchase fabric and recover old pillows or visit yard sales and upcycle with a print or solid that is “so you”. Look for colorful home accessories to bring the look together.

Clean the Windows
Cost: $10-$30
Never underestimate the power of clean windows. A little elbow grease goes a long way to let the sunshine in and make everything look fresh and new. Take the opportunity to wash curtains and wipe down blinds for a completely clean look.

Change Out Photos
Cost: $10-$50
Scroll through your phone and print your favorite pictures of two and four legged friends and family. Change out older pictures and update the frames to add a pop of color in every room.

Butterfly and Bee Habitats
Cost: $5 to $20 per plant
Plant lavender, coneflower, milkweed and salvia and create a space winged creatures will love to call home. Butterflies and bees are good for the environment and provide hours of outdoor viewing entertainment on warm spring nights.

Plant a Small Garden
Cost:  $2 to $10 per plant
You don’t need a huge space to grow yummy veggies or herbs that will add zip to your spring dishes. A colorful pot on the window sill or outdoor terrace is more than enough room for rosemary, a tomato plant, leafy greens, basil and more.

Get your DIY on and get ready for spring in a big way.
