$75 Porch Makeover!

If you're like us, money can often be a little tight from the array of unexpected expenses that pop up with an old house. But with the house being appraised for a chance to refinance, we decided the porch needed a little sprucing up. Nothing like solid curb appeal to welcome the appraiser in!

After spraying the porch down and giving it a solid and much needed cleaning, here's what we did with just $75 and a little left over paint from the foundation project (note the columns).

Nothing like a few little pops of color to give the house a stylish update!
