Nothing says quaint country cottage like window boxes. Erin and Ben painted these boxes the same peaceful blue hue as the front door, then filled them with trailing plants for a romantic touch. Columns flanking the door and a brick stoop add extra charm.

Black paint (Black Fox by Sherwin-Williams) and a new driveway completely reimagined the exterior of Jasmine's once-dated A-frame home in Big Bear Lake, California.

Jasmine added a decal to the front window with the home's name, "Hazel's Cozy Cabin," after her daughter.

Keith and Evan headed south for Bargain Block New Orleans, during which they revived this NOLA-showstopper.
