Increase Your Curb Appeal in One Weekend

"Reality TV makes it tough to face real life. There's no high-powered crew coming, you're not headed for Disney World, and before you can say "Ty Pennington," it's Sunday night. So can you really make a difference in a weekend? You bet."

That is what the opening paragraph of a fun article I just stumbled upon on MyHomeIdeas.com read. The short articles gives three ideas for improving curb appeal with your front entry:

1. Install new shutters on front windows.
2. Add window boxes filled with gorgeous flowers to add color below your freshly painted shutters.
3. Add inexpensive plastic pots, painted your trim color to lend visual continuity to plantings.

And they are right, the three items above could certainly be addressed in one weekend. They are easy projects for homeowners of most any skill level, and the advice is especially useful for those who are looking to sell their home and grab buyers with great curb appeal. The article, albeit a rather short one, is pretty interesting and I thought you might enjoy it, so here it is:
