I've always thought an oversized wreath made a house more welcoming - on a front door, above a fireplace, or on a kitchen hood. My favorite's a magnolia wreath, but it can be any greenery. 

And it's a must on holidays!

A beautiful chandelier. It doesn't have to be expensive, and an owner-picked chandelier/pendant over a dining table adds character and personality to a builder-grade home. I replaced a wall lighting shortly after I moved in with this pendant from LZF Lighting, and it's made such a huge difference. Take a look at the before and after photos.
