Today I wanted to share an inexpensive and easy way to make your front door beautiful. We spent about $15 and a half hour to change out our builder grade plastic doorbell for this adorable vintage-looking brass doorbell, and I think it made a huge difference:
Doorbell | Welcome mat | Striped rug | Urns (similar) | Ivy topiary form
Here’s the before:

And here’s a close up of the new door bell. I was pleasantly surprised that it was made of heavy brass given that the price was so reasonable ($16.45 plus shipping from this Etsy seller). They also have a dark oiled bronze version of the same doorbell if you prefer that finish).

If you’ve never changed out a doorbell, it’s probably the easiest electrical task there is, since doorbells are low voltage and super simple to wire. A three minute YouTube video will walk you through the process.

I’m also sharing my sources for my doormat and rug, and the ivy topiary forms that I always get asked about. I absolutely love them!
Thanks for stopping by!
