#HELLO! Pretend you are my new neighbor. Welcome to my porch. Do you want to come in? What does our courtyard say about us?
Have you moved lately? Thank heavens I haven’t because moving can be the pits. It’s one of the necessary evils of life. When you move into a new space, making it feel homey and inviting is definitely the fun part. Think of it as a new blank canvas.
The first space that greets your new neighbors is your front door and courtyard. Plus, when you are loading in 10 bags of groceries, (or 100 moving boxes), you need a porch that will put a smile on your face. So I suggest adding a little love to that area soon after move in. Make it YOU! Clean it up, paint your front door, hang up art, add some colorful plants! Whatever makes you happy, DO IT!
We added pizzaz to our porch by hanging a fun personalized welcome sign and a little art above the door. Warning, if the wind blows and knocks off the “O”, your house says #HELL. I may or may not be speaking from experience.
When you move in, most the time your house needs a little cleaning and scrubbing, check out FinditatHomeDepot.com/moving for some great information about moving and some great cleaning tips! Spoiler alert! Did you know you can use a Swiffer wet pad to clean high windows!?! I just found that out. It’s a game changer.
For the full tutorial for our welcome sign and other great projects check out the Apron Blog at Home Depot.

Every project is superb! The “mudroom gets a makeover” turned out so cute!
That copper centerpiece!
I’m actually moving this month so this is perfect timing 🙂
If I won, I’d buy 2 new carriage lights for my garage. We moved in 2 yrs ago and they are hideous. Haha I was going to attempt to save them, the style doesn’t change with spray paint tho. So I’ll be waiting till I can purchase new ones ???? fingers crossed!
That porch is so fun!

I love Mandi’s “Clever Closet Organization and Cleaning DIY Project” – the sliding closet door is amazing!
I love the mudroom makeover, and need to do the pantry one too. Would love $200 Home Depot gift card! I have so much painting I need to do!
Love the floating shelves!
My husband and I are getting ready to put our house on the market and we’re spending SOOOOO much money on just the little things we really should’ve done instead of letting them fall to the bottom of our to do list for the last 5 years we’ve lived in our place. Not only will the $200 help but I really think this whole thing has opened my eyes to what slowly building a house into a home over time benefits x100000 so thank you for your projects, I can’t tell you how many of them we’ve used!
I love love love the bench made from the shutter!
I like the bring the outside into your living room project.
The floating shelves!
Oooh, I love the DIY shutter bench! what a smart idea!!
gosh, we’re moving into a new house in a couple of weeks…..I could use many of the projects home depot lists! love the linen closet redo, the diy pillows and the colorful dresser
I think the flower pots are so sweet! They would totally spruce up my deck ????
I love the DIY board and batten. I have a bathroom that would look great with it!
We move into our new place in 14 days & I can’t wait to get my hand on it!!!!
I like the fabric wall art!
Loving the floating shelves in kitchen!
Floating shelves! I always need floating shelves!
you just gave me the most amazing inspiration to get my butt in gear with our front porch. its an awkward porch (entry is on the side), but i have always wanted it to reflect our personality. Thank you so much!
sorry i forgot to say that part of that reno is to make that hanging plant with the wooden disks… love!
I love your front porc, so colorful & welcoming! I really love the hallway wood paneling project!!
Love your site! If I was to win, I would finally get some much needed shelving in my laundry room! I love organization, and without any shelves or storage, I am going nuts! Thank you! <3 🙂
I love the hanging shelf and the floating shelves! We are moving into our first this summer and this post is so helpful! Thank you for this great give-away!
I love this front porch! I need to kick it in gear and do mine!
The front porch of course! Haven’t had time to “spring up” my porch and this gets me motivated.
Such a cute Welcome sign. The front porch says “glad you’re here”
The old dresser make over! I’ve been wanting to do something similar to our dresser but never know where to start!
I would get 2 big planters for our entry and fill them full of plants (fuchsia, a tall grass and maybe something else) if I had some leftover, i would have to get a bench 🙂
I love love the floating shelves!! We just made a set for our weekend house using some beat-up reclaimed wood for a rustic look!! Love Home Depot!!!
Love the painted Turkish rugs and the DIY floating shelves…always wanted to try both 🙂
I love the diy painted kilim rug! Great way to brighten up any area! (Thanks for the tip on washing those high windows with a swiffer.)
I could def. use the pantry clean up and spruce up…thanx for the giveaway opp!
Absolutely gorgeous Brooke – that Teal is my favorite color and I have my kitchen pantry door painted in it….it’s my happy color. I think great minds think alike….I just updated my front porch also, I stenciled a design on the concrete, and of course teal is the main color – along with brown and lime green, added new plants and a few decorative pots….I love your sign.
As for the project I like, it would have to be the towel rack for the bathroom. I tried making one that looks like a ladder but my husband hates it because it keeps sticking out….this looks like the perfect solution.
The “mudroom gets a makeover” is so great!
I love all the organization tips. We live in small townhome and organization is key to fit all of life into it 🙂
So many great projects but the shutter bench is speaking to me! Especially since I have all the materials! Thanks!
I love the Linen Hall Refresh idea. I feel like I could clean out my linen closet every month and not have it look this good. I need to get the proper cleaning tools and baskets to get this under control like they did!
Loving that blue door! I’ve been wanting to paint my front door but my walls are like a rust red (used to be red at one point i’m sure) and i’m not sure what color to paint it. Love yours tho!
I love the wood paneling project! I want to do that to my entry at home 🙂
Love the painted turkish rug. I have been looking for a new entry rug but haven’t found one with a design I love that I am willing to pay for. That would be perfect!
My favorite project is the handpainted rug! Although they are all nice.
I love the board and batten, I’ve wanted to do that in our master bedroom for awhile now!
I always love the floating shelves!

I love the swiffer ideas. Not only can you dust, but you can write down the walls and get cobwebs, clean ceiling fans, etc etc! The list is endless! I also love the floating shelves! I’m going to be updating some shelves this weekend it looks like????
I have always wanted to try the board & batten in my entryway. The hubs isn’t too crazy about such a drastic change though so I’ll just have to build his confidence in my abilities until he comes around! 🙂 Maybe a new front door color is in order in the meantime to give our house a pop of color!!
I love the open kitchen shelves. Our 1952 house is in major need of a kitchen redo!!
My next project is my front porch & this would be such a great help ????. I’m painting the door, for sure, but love the other ideas! Now to pick what to diy!!!
I love all the ideas on here and we just got a new house so this is all helpful 🙂
I love the front porch a close second would be the paneling project.
I love the board and batten idea! I’ve been wanting to pull the shelves out of a huge entryway closet we have and convert it into a bench with cubbies for shoe baskets. My husband and I have already decided the board and batten would be the perfect thing to go along with the bench. The hooks will be great for backpacks and jackets! I can’t wait to open up that space!
Love the front door makeover! We just moved into a cosmetic fixer upper so the gift card would be awesome!!!
I love the DIY shutter bench! My husband and I just built our own shutters (they are so darn expensive!!) and so now we have our old shutters lying around. I never thought to use them to make a bench! It’s seriously the cutest idea ever. 🙂
I’d love to redo my new mudroom! Moving next week so it’d come in handy!
Two many great projects to choose from, but I would have to pick the { Bathroom Cleanup & Ladder Towel Rack because with all boys in my household, towels just never make it on the hooks and I think my boys would hang there towels on this awesome towel ladder 🙂
I love floating shelves and want to put some up!!!
I moved into my apt four years ago and decided that this summer I will work on the last thing I have left… The little backyard!
