Once you've binge-watched all of the shows on your list, re-read all of your favorite books, and dusted off your old gaming console... could it be time to tackle your to-do list? While life is anything but normal right now, taking care of projects around the house that don't require a trip to the hardware store is a great way to add a touch of normalcy and make being stuck at home a bit more pleasant.
Plus, completing home improvement projects can help your home stand out to potential buyers viewing your home in a virtual showing.
Our REALTORS® are here to help with ideas to trim down your to-do list and stay busy without leaving home.

Clean Vents and Baseboards
Was a central HVAC system a must-have when you were shopping for Naples homes for sale? Then you'll want to make sure your system is working at its best. In addition to improving the efficiency of your system, cleaning vents and baseboards is a great way to minimize allergies while you're stuck at home. -
Clean Your Microwave and Other Small Appliances
It's easy to forget to clean smaller appliances like microwaves, toasters, and toaster ovens. Take the time to give those appliances a thorough cleaning, and enjoy the benefits next time you need them to cook. -
Clean Out and Organize Drawers
Every home has that drawer – the one where you throw everything that doesn't fit somewhere else, to be sorted at a later date. Well, that date has arrived. Now is the perfect time to clean out crowded, cluttered drawers, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Take the time to remove everything, clean up messes, throw out unneeded items, and restock each drawer in an organized way. -
Create More Space in Closets
Just as with drawers, there's likely a closet or two around your house that could use the same cleaning and reorganizing treatment. With closets, the key is to declutter and reorganize in a way that makes the most use of the available space. That might mean shifting a few items to the attic or throwing out a few items. -
Touch Up Paint Around the House
Do you have a few gallons of paint stored in your garage from previous painting projects around the house? Then now is a great time to put that paint to work! Grab a gallon of paint, make sure it still matches, and go through your home to touch up any trouble spots. Even without enough paint to fully re-coat your walls, a few touch-ups in the right places can make a huge difference. -
Prep Your Yard for Spring and Summer
Being stuck at home doesn't have to mean being stuck indoors, so why not get some fresh air and improve your home in the process? Clean out any outdoor debris that has built up over the winter, wash down all of your outdoor furniture, and get your grill prepped for the outdoor cooking seasons. -
Refresh Your Wall Hangings
No matter how perfectly you straightened them when you hung them up, wall hangings will start to get crooked over time. All you need is a level to get them looking great once more, and you'd be surprised by the difference that this simple fix can make.
