Plant Flowers

Planting flowers is an instantaneous, inviting, and one of the easy and affordable ways to improve your house.  Adding flowers and plant life to your home is a good idea for many reasons.  It’s a great option because it can be done in flower beds, in outdoor planting pots our indoors in a variety of ways.

Michigan Sate University Extension reported the many benefits of having plant life in the home.  Benefits included adding oxygen to the environment, stress reduction, increase in physical exercise and even reduction in crime.

MSU reported,

“Studies have shown that plants in the workplace and school reduce employee and student stress and provide beneficial health effects, such as reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, releasing muscle tension and increasing positive feelings. …Plants can also help reduce crime. One study found that the more trees and grass an inner-city apartment building had around it, the fewer property and violent crimes reported. Community gardens can serve to bring people together in a neighborhood and have a positive impact on community cohesion.”

Take a Saturday afternoon, and add some plant life to your daily life, one of our very easy and affordable ways to improve your house.

Hang Wall Art and Photos

Make your home your own and spend an afternoon hanging art and photos!  This doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive.  Use photographs, objects and art you already have.  If these look dated or you need a new look, buy new frames to refresh the space and make it feel new.

Clear Out Space In Your Garage

One of the quickest and most satisfying ways to improve your home is to clear things out!  And most people need to do this in their garage or storage area.  Spring is the perfect time to open that garage door, do some organizing and shuffle around your storage items.

If your precious garage real estate is being taken up by bulky or awkward items, make your life so much easier and get a storage unit.  Renting at a self-storage facility is a very easy and affordable process and is more than worth the investment to get the space and ease you need in your life.
