- A freshly painted door will create a welcoming first impression.
- Besides letting outside light in to brighten spaces, change your light bulbs from “soft white” to “clear” to maximize brightness.

- Repurpose an unused room into an office or craft room.
- Remove extra clothes from the closets and dishes from the cabinets.
