1. Pour your off-brand liquor into a glass decanter because nobody needs to know you get your favorite booze in handles from Costco.
2. Instantly update your garage door with carriage-style magnets to create a ~focal point~ that distracts from any other unsightly details you're not gonna fix anytime soon.
3. Cover up your gross-looking concrete with garage floor paint for a clean visual slate in a space you use every day.
4. Recover those old throw pillows you're not in love with anymore with cute shams that cost less than buying a bunch of new cushions.
5. Disguise a hideous buzzer or interior fuse box with a trendy macramé hanging you can move when you need easy access.
6. Hide all the crap you shove under your bed with a sharp bed skirt that coordinates with the rest of your bedding — your bedroom will immediately look neater.
7. Update your circa-1990s appliances for less than the cost of dinner for two: simply cover them in stainless-steel-effect contact paper.
8. Ditch the branded hand soap pump you've been refilling all year for foaming dispensers — these use less soap per pump than regular bottles, so you'll save $$ on soap refills, too.
9. Restore beat-up furniture and other wood (or simply darken light-tone wood pieces) with Old English Scratch Cover.
10. Swap out your standard air vent wall registers with a decorative cover worthy of Gatsby himself.
11. Dress up a less-than-lovely patio or porch — or protect a high-traffic area so it doesn't deteriorate — by laying down an indoor/outdoor rug that'll seem like it's there exclusively because it looks good.
12. The same goes with any unsightly spots indoors: a standout print rug can give the neglected area some well-deserved attention.
13. Obscure an eyesore of a view with rainbow-y self-adhesive window film — besides looking jaw-droppingly beautiful, it'll also provide a little extra privacy.
14. Consolidate the mess that is your TV's cords in a cable raceway because there's no reason your grown-up living room needs to remind you of your college dorm years one little bit.
15. Toss your stinkiest discards in a slide-out trash can you can easily install in a lower kitchen cabinet yourself (as long as you're semi-proficient with a drill, or willing to learn).
16. And temporarily store your compostables in this odor-locking compost bin you won't mind keeping out on your kitchen counter.
17. Build a simple log store so your lopsided wood pile no longer looks like it's languishing but your growing collection can still breathe.
18. Slap on a coat of old-fashioned primer to brighten up a dingy brick garage over the course of a regular old Sunday afternoon.
19. Hang a roll of faux ivy to solve several problems: conceal ugly railing or wire fence, create a little extra privacy, and block a view you wish you didn't have to see.
20. Organize "drop zone" stuff like mail, keys, and reusable grocery bags on this tidy wall shelf instead of just dumping it all on your kitchen counter.
21. Makeover up your old-school bathtub with a tub-and-tile kit to hold you over until you have the time/cash/inspiration to shell out the big bucks to replace it.
22. Shelter a tangled powerstrip inside a power cord box so nothing accidentally ends up unplugged (and you don't have to look at it all, either).
23. And box up a router and other e-clutter behind a row of cut-up books for a visual disguise that won't block the all-important wifi signal.
24. Loft seasonal essentials cluttering up your garage floor with sturdy ceiling-mount shelves so everything will be accessible but out of your direct eye line.
25. Refinish dated metal fixtures with metal-look spray paint to make them look completely new in just an hour or two.
26. Free an entire drawer with an under-cabinet organizer that lets hot tools cool safely. Then repurpose that drawer to store so much more than just a couple styling tools and their cords.
27. Overhaul that outdated Formica in your kitchen with a granite-look countertop paint kit for an inexpensive upgrade that'll last for years.
28. Shield a utility box, trash cans, or anything else you need to easily access with a four-panel bamboo screen.
29. Watch obvious damage to your wood furniture disappear with water-stain-erasing cloth.
30. Or if the stain's a little too big to fix with a $5 cloth, cover it with a checked table runner you can match to the season.
31. Tuck away toys (and all the other random stuff your kids left lying around) in this collapsible storage ottoman to reclaim your living room as a place for grown-ups.
32. If you're not lucky enough to have a mudroom, this shoe cabinet is a good start — it'll at least be better than the ever-growing pile of shoes threatening to trip you on the way out the door.
