Stupid cheap/ little things, but always make me smile:
1. We (still) have incandescent lighting, and our stock lamp lenses are clear. It made a very harsh, shadowy light. I spray painted the inside of the lenses with high-temp white paint. The "frosted" lenses now throw much nicer light - my eyes can sweep past a fixture without getting blinded.
2. We have foot rest (box) under our couch. The lid is hinged for storage underneath, but the whole thing is carpeted with nothing to "grab" to open it, I screwed a little loop of nylon strap inside the top front of the lid to provide a finger pull.
3. I put an access hole in the top of our (under-step) water tank. Several times it's been hard/ inconvenient to fill the tank from a hose while camping, so I add 5 or 10 gallons to the tank thru the access hole using a funnel and a 5 gallon water jug.
