It’s easy to be in a languid mood on a hot August day, but sometimes you just want to feel like you accomplished something. Look around and pick one easy upgrade, such as updating hardware on kitchen cabinets, installing new curtains, or swapping a standard shower curtain rod with a curved one to make the space less cramped. Or you can reduce the clutter in your primary home entry by adding shelves, hooks and a chair or bench for taking shoes on and off.
