Cheap and Easy House Updates

Since we will be listing our house on the market soon; Jamie and I have decided to invest a little money and some sweat equity into the house to prepare it for a sale.



Some of it looks so nice that I am just pizzed we didn't do it for ourselves sooner because most of it has been fairly inexpensive.



Old light fixture - we have two of these.




New light fixtures. Less than $20 for both! I love them!





Old, disgusting - I am embarrassed we had these - door knobs. We have 4 doors right near each other and every single knob was different - tacky.




New doorknobs - $15/door.





New ceiling fan in out room - old one was cut glass and brass -very dated.

Fan - $38 (on clearance - originally over $100)

Medallion - $26

Paint for Medallion - $6


Jamie also replaced all of our brass (aka hideous) light fixture covers for .50 each and I spray painted the closet door knobs to match the medallion. I am starting to become addicted to spray paint!


I also bought this cute plant and pot for $13.50 total to help stage my house :)



The next major projects are going to be painting the dining room and kitchen and then trying to de-clutter and clean every room to get it listed in January :)
