    25 Things To Help Give Your Home's Exterior An Upgrade

    Quick home improvements that you, yes y-o-u, can tackle without bringing in a professional.

    1. A powerful pressure washer because sometimes the only update you need is to wash off the built-up grime off your siding.

    2. A new lockable mailbox to replace the flimsy model that's had one too many run-ins with the snow plow.

    3. Or update an existing wall-mounted mailbox with this sleek, lockable one that can hold multiple days worth of mail (if you're a bit forgetful, like me) and protects magazines and bills, alike, from the elements.

    4. Connectable Edison bulb string lights so you can make your yard look like a trendy beer garden and leave passersby wondering how they can get a reservation.

    5. A three-piece wicker rocking chair and table set with thick bottom and back cushions for comfortably rocking the hours away with a good book and a good drink in the great outdoors.

    6. A custom steel circle monogram if you're looking for a sleek and stylish way to really personalize your home's exterior.

    7. A sturdy package delivery box to help protect packages from wind, rain, and nosy neighbors while keeping your porch looking tidy even after big deliveries.

    8. These modern floating house numbers because you love the charm of your pre-war home but hate the pre-war house numbers that should've been replaced years ago.

    9. Some modern flat iron trough planters with mounting brackets that'll add a bright pop of color to your exterior windows or porch railings.

    10. And a set of UV-resistant faux flowers so you can enjoy the look of a blooming window box or hanging basket without having to worry about keeping anything alive.

    11. Some fade-resistant front door paint for a DIY project that strikes the optimal balance of low effort and big impact.

    12. Plus, a nine-piece paint roller and brush set for ensuring you have the right tools to tackle any and all of your paint-related home improvement projects.

    13. An eight-pack of solar stake lights if you're tired of precarious low-light walks from the car to your front door. These little stake lights will auto-turn on when the sun sets, and require ZERO additional tools to install.

    14. A gutter scoop to spare your hands from the terrifying sludge fest going on in your gutters. You'll be surprised how much more you like your home's exterior after a good cleaning.

    15. A cedar wood tiny library for the avid reader who wants to spread the literary wealth by turning their yard into a free public library. Each handcrafted unit arrives sanded and ready to be painted, with a durable plexiglass door and a weather-resistant plywood roof.

    16. A pair of weather-resistant outdoor wall sconces that'll shed a little light on just how good your front porch looks.

    17. An elegant ring knocker because you're an adult, this is your home, and you have the power to curate an above-average door-knocking experience if you want to.

    18. An all-in-one wood stain and sealer with what they call "goof proof" application so you can look like a pro and transform your fence, deck, shed, bench, or any other of your home's wooden wonders with ease.

    19. A set of updated door hardware for finally taking care of the sticky lock that has plagued your existence since move-in day.

    20. These faux vinyl shutters if you're looking for an affordable way to make your home look waaayyyyy more expensive.

    21. A handcrafted raised barrel planter made from reclaimed wine barrels that'll incite almost as many compliments as your obviously flourishing flower garden.

    22. An easy-to-use stud finder because you've got a long list of home improvement projects and all of them require drilling into a wall. Reviewers say this one is super intuitive to use, and even has a WireScan Mode so you can be sure you're not going to cause an accidental power outage while you hang the mailbox.

    23. Some coconut husk mulch to freshen up dreary, dried-up flowerbeds with a rich, rust color mulch that actually absorbs water and won't float away next time you're treated to a heavy rain.

    24. A rechargeable cordless hedge trimmer that's so lightweight and easy-to-use it just might inspire you to call the landscaper and reimagine your yard with even more stylish shrubbery.

    25. And, finally, a coconut fiber Welcome-ish mat for letting everyone that enters your home know that they're (probably) welcome...but there's no guarantee.
