Some of these projects are simple while others many take some more time and commitment, however these home improvement projects will enhance the curb appeal and look of your home. In going through the different projects, my fiancé and I found that the doorknocker idea was relatively easy to do while adding a unique touch. The knocker doesn’t have to be a standard one that you would pick up at the local hardware store but even something personal can work, this adds a custom feel and can bring in other elements of the home to make your house stand out among the rest. Have a cottage on the lake? Upon reading the doorknocker article we are looking to purchase one for my parent’s cottage which would do away from their current knocker which doesn’t tie in very well with the cottage theme. Some different ideas are below:

The simple steps include:

·         Finding the right doorknocker

·         Mark the mounting site

·         Place the knocker

·         Start the Screws

·         Install the door knocker

When going through the different projects, let us know if one stands out to you or even if you decide to take charge and complete one of these tasks. We would love to hear some feedback on previous projects you have completed to boost the value of your home or future projects that you plan to finish.
