As a mom, you’re the stalwart defender against chaos in the household. While that job is sometimes a hassle and a half on its own, that doesn’t mean you don’t get to do the things you want. Living in your dream house typically takes some redecorating and a lot of planning. Check these summer home improvement goals off your list to spruce things up before fall officially arrives.
Repaint the Rooms
Whether you have a room with a color you despise or need to revitalize some now dull rooms, paint does a lot to liven a space. Summer is an excellent time to jam out to your favorite tunes while dedicating some of your time each day to the walls of work-in-progress rooms. While it starts slowly, the progress is easy to notice and motivates you to continue toward the finish line.
Install or Replace Shutters
Summer is the perfect time to consider updating your window coverings. Shutters can provide both security and style for your home. Whether you want to go for that cute cottage look or something more modern, shutters can provide the look you’re going for while also being very practical.
Add a Stone Veneer
While installing a stone veneer in your front yard sounds difficult at first, where would the gratification be without a bit of elbow grease? Stone veneers are a beautiful and elegant touch to a home’s exterior and raise the value of your home as a bonus. Plus, there are a few ways you can mix up your stone veneers to create a unique image that your future guests are sure to love.
Build a Deck
A deck can be a way to extend your living space by creating an outdoor haven to play and dine. Whether you have a covered deck, set up a sun umbrella on hot days, or allow a canopy of vines to grow overhead, an outdoor patio can offer space for the kids to play and space for you to entertain your friends. Summer is the perfect time to add a deck to your home or update your current patio. (Tip: watch for great deals on patio furniture in the fall!)
Install a Hot Tub
Create your own home spa space with an outdoor or indoor hot tub! The whole family will enjoy relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the evening—or put the kids to bed and enjoy some romance with your spouse! There are numerous options for hot tubs available, so consider your space and then shop around. For example, trying a search such as “best price on hot tubs cincinnati” to find the deals in your area.
Customize Your Landscaping
Have you ever walked into someone’s garden and felt like you entered another world? You are equally capable of doing that at your home. Landscaping is a way to welcome you and your guests to your home. Whether that first impression comes from pathway lights or beautiful flowers is up to you.
Maybe this is the year to install or update your backyard pool. Another fun, simple idea is to make a backyard movie theatre.
While moms are among the hardest workers in the house, there’s always room to do the things you want. It’s not an easy thing to achieve, but little by little, you can make progress. Complete these home improvement projects before summer ends to kickstart that home makeover journey.
