9) So now you must be thinking what else can I paint?! Well your sidewalks and driveways of course! A neighbor of mine did this a few years back and it looked great! You do not need to tear up your driveway and redo the whole thing, just get some heavy duty outdoor concrete paint and a really big paint roller! Make sure to wash your driveway prior to painting and shoot for a day that is hot so the paint dries fast to make sure no debris gets stuck in the paint. Here are some ideas of what you can do!

10) Decorate your front steps! Some ideas below from Linda at homedeco50.wordpress.com Sprucing up your front steps or porch is a great way to show off your decorating style!
