Quick weekend updates that will freshen things up in a hurry

Sometimes all it takes is a little change to make you fall in love with your room again. Check out these ideas that can be done in a weekend or two!

ADD PICTURE FRAMING TO A WALL
Adding any kind of architectural detail to plain walls will instantly add interest and dimension. You can use thin strips of molding to form sections that resemble luxurious paneling. Paint them a contrasting color, or be subtle and paint them the same as the wall, but in a different sheen. For even more impact, fill the frames with wallpaper to make instant art.

WALLPAPER A POWDER ROOM
The powder room is a place to show a little more personality and perhaps be a little daring. Wallpaper packs a big punch and creates a statement with just a little time and money. And for those who aren’t too sure, removable peel-and-stick versions take the commitment level down a notch.

UP-CYCLE A PIECE OF FURNITURE
When we end up with old furniture items that have lost their appeal, we are presented with a chance to be creative. The results just might transform an eyesore into your favorite decor!

DO A LITTLE FRONT DOOR REFRESH
Having great curb appeal can brighten your day every time you pull up to your driveway. It’s amazing what a little front door TLC can do to improve your look. Consider a fresh coat of paint, a couple of pots on either side, and a new doormat to liven things up!
