Fixing Holes in Walls… Whether an art project didn’t go as planned or you’re simply tired of seeing dings around the house, covering up wall imperfections is a simple weekend task. With a putty knife and some surfacing compound, you can quickly repair nail holes and other small blemishes. Just paint over the patch once it’s dry.
Install a New Faucet… Bring a touch of elegance to your daily routine with a faucet that enhances both style and functionality. Just be sure the configuration matches your current sink, or you may end up needing to replace that as well.
Add Dimmers to Your Lights… Dimmer switches instantly set the mood in any room. If you love this idea, be sure to check out previous posts for more quick, easy, and valuable ways to enhance your home! Stay tuned for more ideas all weekend long.
Replace Your Showerhead… Opt for a low-flow showerhead to enjoy a similar water pressure while saving on your water bill. If your current showerhead already has low flow (but it shouldn’t), check for hard-water deposits clogging the holes.
Install or Redo Your Backsplash… Give your kitchen a fresh look with a bold new backsplash in ceramic or glass tile. Just ensure the wall is in good condition before you begin installation. This is one of our favorite home improvements for delivering great value with a high impact!
Swap Out the Sink… A new sink can instantly refresh a dull bathroom. Keep in mind, kitchens and bathrooms are key selling points for homes, plus it’ll bring you plenty of enjoyment in the meantime!

Add Storage to Your Entry… If a traditional entry closet or custom built-in shelves aren’t feasible, repurposed furniture can offer a stylish and functional alternative for extra storage.
Light Up the Kitchen… Give your eating area a makeover with a new light fixture. Replacing the existing one is the quickest and easiest way to brighten up the space!
Give Your Yard a Boost… Create an outdoor patio with flagstone in just a weekend—no mortar needed! Add some potted plants and outdoor seating, like a bistro set or a mix of colorful chairs, to turn your yard into a charming backyard retreat.
Add Molding… Whether it’s the living room, dining room, or great room, crown molding adds a polished, defining touch to any common area. If you live in a historic home, be sure to choose molding that complements the architectural style of your space.
