1.) Paint a seat: Paint is one of the most powerful agents of change. A fresh coat of paint in a new color can transform your grandmothers dingy old garden chair into your backyards focal point.

2.) Add an arbor: The appeal of an arbor comes from its ability to give you just the right amount of shade. For an extra touch add lights or a chandelier from the center of your arbor!
3.) Place a birdbath: What could be more enjoyable then looking out your window every morning to see beautiful birds splashing in your birdbath. Also if you add a feeder it will help increase the number of birds!

9.) Fill a window box: Just like jewelry can make an outfit, a window box can add a nice touch on a homes exterior.
10.) Lay a path: If you have a bare track in your lawn where frequent traffic has worn down the grass, you already have the perfect spot to lay a path! Use stones for a casual effect, bricks for a more formal yard, or pavers for a structured look.
