LIGHTBULBS: Most of us don’t even think of the ambiance and mood that the lighting inside our house makes.

PAINT: Have a room that just isn’t fun or even comfortable? Buy a gallon of paint! Even if you just have a little ambition, cover one wall in a soothing tone and see how it changes the room! Fun pops of color or bold hues can totally change the way your home feels and the price of a gallon of paint is a very economical way to update your home.

CABINET/DRAWER PULLS: Something as simple as updating your hardware in your kitchen can make a massive change to its appeal. The trends in cabinet pulls right now are super fun yet very inexpensive! You could easily change out the pulls in one room in a day and go from drab to updated and charming.
