Saving money for a debt settlement program can be stressful. When it comes to home improvement, small, inexpensive changes can make a big difference. Here are a few
ideas that might help you spruce up your home.
Curb Appeal
A well-kept lawn and walkway as well as flowers and shrubs give a nice first impression to anyone passing your home. Regular yard maintenance and the care of plants and flowers can be a family activity.
According to This Old House magazine, pretty, purple lavender plants can be an attractive, fragrant and inexpensive choice to beautify any landscape, porch or garden.

Enhance The Look Of Furniture
The addition of colorful pillows or unique fabrics could accent your interior and give your furniture a new look. Pillows aren't difficult to sew. If you don't have a sewing machine you can even stitch by
hand. Check your local fabric store's remnant table for inexpensive fabric choices.
Add Some Art
You can pick out some of your favorite photos, print them out in various sizes and display them in inexpensive photo frames which can be purchased at discount stores, donation centers, yard sales and
flea markets.
Put Off Buying New.
According to www.hgtv.com, it may be a good idea to consider simple fixes for furniture or household items before purchasing something new.
For example, you could bring life back to leather furniture with a little olive oil. Small tears could be stitched or patched. Kitchen chairs might look new again with a little spray paint and some
fabric.
Get A Handle On Things
A unique lighting fixture or other accent might give your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom an entirely new look. If you have a local salvage yard, it could be a treasure trove of unique lighting fixtures and
other home d�cor items available for very low cost.
Paint
Cabinets, shelves and walls can be revived with a fresh coat of paint. Check your local home improvement center to see if they have discounted paint available. A one to five gallon pail that another
customer didn't like after mixing might be exactly what you are looking for.
Get Organized.
Money saving website www.Walletpop.com suggests de-cluttering and getting organized. Small containers or pretty baskets could serve as a decorative
place for things.
Flooring
Keep wood floors looking great through regular maintenance and care.
If you have carpeting that is showing its age, you can cover worn spots with inexpensive area rugs.
Make a dirty carpet look nicer by giving it a thorough cleaning.
