You DON’T need a full reno or a HGTV crew to increase your home’s value.

Just a few smart updates that pack a punch. Think of it like a glow-up… but for your house.
Here’s what I’d do if I wanted to impress buyers WITHOUT knocking down a wall 👇

01 – Fresh paint = instant facelift. Neutral tones like soft greige or warm white? I’m currently loving SW Alabaster and Greek Villa. Chef’s kiss.

02 – Upgrade that hardware. Your kitchen doesn’t need a full remodel—just swap out those dated cabinet pulls and boom, it’s giving Pinterest kitchen vibes.

03 – Curb appeal is everything. New mulch, trimmed bushes, and a cute welcome mat? Your house just got 10x more charming from the street. 🌿

04 – Better lighting, better mood. Swap outdated fixtures for something modern and bright—your space will feel bigger, fresher, and more inviting. (Plus, you’ll stop squinting in your own living room. Win-win.)

✨ Thinking about selling but not sure where to start?
