This summer we’ve been working on making our house have “curb appeal”. We replaced our front porch and added some solar lights. The porch tends to get slippery in the winter so we wanted an attractive solution. Butterfly Stair Treads from howhelpful.com fit the bill perfectly. Designed to look like iron grillwork, these stair treads not only improve traction but they also help remove dirt and debris so it doesn’t get tracked into the house. Since they are made of rubber, they are easily cleaned by hosing them off. A set of four sells for $16.99.
We’ve also been working on organizing our garage. Our biggest challenge is finding tools when we need them. They tend to be scattered all over the place. A simple and cost effective solution is wall storage boards. A set of two is only $9.99- a whole lot cheaper than a tool box and a whole lot more functional in my opinion. Now we can see all of our tools without having to dig through anything and it’s easy to hang them back up on the hooks when we are done.
Collecitons Etc. has a lot of economical and functional solutions to all sorts of household problems. Take a look around and see how you can spiffy up your home!
