"Put safety first," cautions Scott Phillips, host of The American Woodshop. "Before you begin your first project, make sure you have eye, ear and breathing protection available and then follow the manufacturer's directions for all the tools and products you use. Have a first-aid kit and a phone handy, and enlist help for the heavy-duty work."

Entrance & Windows Give your entrance an easy update with a new door or add color and new hardware to an existing one. Install new windows that are attractive, reduce heating and cooling costs, and are easy to maintain.

Kitchen & Dining Areas Apply stain or color to your kitchen cabinets and replace hinges and pulls or knobs to brighten your "home cafe." If your cabinets have seen better days, install new ones either store-bought or ones you build. For wood furniture, consider using a stain or topcoat to change the room's decor.

Shelving & Lighting Add shelving to help control clutter (bedroom/bathroom closets) and provide more display space for photos and collectibles (living room/ family room/kitchen). Enhance cabinets and furniture with LED lighting.

Living/Family Room Arranging furniture into "areas" will allow for varied activities simultaneously. Use plants, a bookcase or a divider to separate areas. Paint walls, hang pictures or stain wood furniture to add color.
