Home Improvement Projects for Women

If you are looking to sell your home or just do some updating around the house, we have found some great home improvement projects can boost the value of your home and are geared towards women.  Tal Boldo wrote an article discussing “80 Home Improvement Projects for Women,” we went through and found some great ways to enhance the beauty and character of your home. In tying in the three areas that we discuss on the blog, Curb Appeal, All Thing Women, and DIY Projects, we have pulled several of these home improvement projects from the site to share with all of you.

#51. Curb Appeal Home Improvement Project
Here are 12 ideas for giving your home unique and beautiful curb appeal. Each idea is easy. Just follow the easy instructions for your curb appeal makeover, a home improvement project for women who love to look at their home from the street.

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 fiancĂ© 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.
