Colorado Springs, Colorado (NAPSI) - If you’re like most people, you’ve probably spent time wandering the aisles of home improvement stores pining over pending projects and then, feeling overwhelmed, left empty-handed. Do-it-yourself projects, while cost effective, can be a little scary especially for those who aren’t creatively inclined or extremely handy.

Luckily, there are many value-boosting projects that can be completed with little home improvement knowledge. With a small budget of no more than $100 and a little sweat equity, these DIY projects can spruce up your home and make it a cozier place to live.

Paint Your Front Door: Costing approximately $50 to $100, a fresh pop of color on your door can be a great way to help your home stand out and look appealing.

Landscape: You can freshen up your yard with flowering plants available at home improvement stores for only a few dollars a plant. New mulch also makes a big statement for a small price.
