Introducing a brand new series at Brown Sugar Toast:

Really, this series is born out of my own desire to improve the outside loveliness of my home. Sure, we’re renting our house, but that doesn’t mean it has to look like an overgrown pile of weeds, right? And seeing as that’s how things have become lately… I decided something must be done.

As I studied the front of my home, I discovered several things:

• there are some things that would look better if they were replaced/fixed
• most of those major things = major money {ex: windows}
• there are a lot of things that = $0 + lots of hard work

We aren’t in a position to sink a lot of moolah into our home. However, there are things we can do to improve the curb appeal that cost little to no money. We’ve been working on the outside of our home over the past month and are beginning to see a bit of improvement. Woot!

If you’re looking for some ways to improve the curb appeal of your home, then you will love  this series! 7 steps to improving your home without investing major buckaroos. Now who doesn’t love that? This series will run on Mondays & Wednesdays for the next few weeks. Be prepared for lots of gorgeous home inspiration! Let’s get started with Step #1:

 

Have you ever seen a colored door that you loved? Some colors are bold and others are much more subtle. My personal favorite is the eggplant door above. Such a gorgeous shade that adds color and sophistication at the same time! Painting your front door in a shade that compliments the rest of your home is a fabulous way to add curb appeal on the cheap. Just be sure you don’t pick too crazy of a color or you might completely lose in the appealing department!

What do you think? Would you ever paint your front door a color other than white?
