Summer’s second long weekend is rapidly approaching, and while the 4th of July usually means fireworks and cookouts, for many people, it’s also a chance to knock out some summer projects.
No one wants to spend the entire long weekend working though, so why not take a few hours one afternoon and dress up your doors? It’s a quick, DIY-friendly project, so you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment and still have plenty of time to relax!
Start with a fresh coat of paint. Choose a bold, new color for the front door if you’re feeling adventurous, or simply add a new coat of the existing color. New paint has a way of making things feel fresh and clean.
Once you’re done painting, update your hinges. Choose hinges in a finish that matches your door locks, and, for an extra touch, add decorative hinge pin caps to the hinges.
Next, replace your door locks. Choose a style that complements your own personal style (and matches your new hinges).
If you’d like, finish things off with a festive touch – hang a 4th of July wreath on the door, or put a pot of red, white, and blue flowers on your front step. Then, step back and admire your handiwork before heading out for some holiday fun!
