DIY Winter Proof Home Improvement

Do it yourself home projects can save you hundreds of dollars,  and sprucing up your own little piece of Jackson Hole real estate can do a lot to improve your curb appeal. Plus, you chase away the winter blues!

  • Draft blockers make nice cozy additions to your windowsill and are lovely to look at.
  • Before winter hits, plant shrubs for future bloom. Do not wait till spring to head on over to the local florist. Instead, buy shrubs now and prepare them for the coming winter so that they bloom when the first thaw hits.
  • Increase the homey feel of your piece of Jackson WY real estate by repainting a door and decorating it with winter wreaths and lights. Or stick with the lights for a different look this year.
  • Take advantage of your heated pipes and pour baking soda down drains to clear blockage and clean pipes safely.
  • Take advantage of the winter heating and start planting cold weather herbs for your kitchen window garden. Parsley, kale and chives grow well in any weather and make lovely green additions to your stews and soups.
  • Refinish a piece of furniture or repaint a wall with a splash of unexpected bright color. It will brighten up your day and chase the winter blues away. Even just one wall will lift your spirits! If you are in an adventurous mood, try repainting the walls of your little slice of Jackson WY real estate with stripes, chevron or even geometric patterns!
