As you probably already know, when winter hits, there aren't many home improvement projects you can do outdoors. But this is the perfect time to do indoor projects that were put off during the warmer summer months.

Here are five simple winter home improvement projects you can plan for now that don't cost a bundle!

1. Give your kitchen cabinets a face-lift: Nothing outdates a kitchen more than dark, drab, flat front cabinets. One easy fix is to add trim to the top, bottom, and faces of your cabinets. Cover with a couple coats of paint and you have an entirely different look to your kitchen.

2. Refinish a piece of furniture: Winter is the perfect time to do this project because outdoor duties are not waiting. If you have a heated garage you can sand and repaint without any problems.

3. Organize closets: Nothing keeps a house running more smoothly than organized spaces. Go room by room during the winter and sort through items. Buy storage containers, bins, and baskets that will be useful for each space. When everything has a place, items get put away right away, rather than piling up and creating clutter.

4. Rip up old carpet: If you have carpet or linoleum that needs to come out, winter is a great time to do it, especially toward the end of winter. Most communities have spring clean-ups that will take away your old carpet for free. The cost of ripping up old carpet or linoleum is nothing more than a bit of 'elbow grease'.

5. Fix annoying problems: Winter is the time to take care of small annoying problems that you overlook during busier months. For instance, now is the perfect time to fix that squeaky pantry door or that broken hinge on the computer cabinet door. Take a day and make a list of all the little items that need fixed. It won't take much time or money, but it will make a big improvement in your daily life.
