Interior Decoration

Remodeling is tough work, but when your kitchen gets too old and stops functioning properly, life can get hard pretty quick. I remember one evening from my childhood we were having a big party, and my mother’s oven stopped working halfway through cooking a whole turkey! She was embarrassed and probably wished she had updated her kitchen. Knowing how to remodel and fix things in your home can be incredibly empowering, so let’s learn a few things!

The Modern Kitchen

I love to cook; it’s one of my hobbies. Cooking in a modern kitchen is a true joy for me. The problem is, the kitchen so often becomes dirty and outdated. (more…)

Some aspects of your home simply need to be perfect, and for most of us, the master bedroom falls into that category. I have shown homes for years now, and nothing provides the “wow” factor like an incredible master suite. It needn’t be a big room to be beautiful. You should lay your head down in a room where you feel secure and happy. A bedroom can be a place that you can make your own, decorating it tastefully with artwork, posters, or wallpaper.

From the Ground Up

Let’s start with the floors. I know most of the time I’m in my bedroom, I’m barefoot. I love the feel of a soft carpet. If the carpet in your bedroom is getting ratty, consider replacing it. I recently replaced the carpet in my home; it’s a big project, but a doable one. If you’re not up to the task of replacing the carpet, tear it out and see what’s underneath! Often beautiful wood floors are just waiting to be discovered. You could install wood flooring (which is very easy) and then lay down a large area rug. (more…)

Installing countertops for bathrooms, kitchens as well as other home interior and exterior, granite is considered to be the best material for countertop installation.

If you want to impact the environment and save money in your home, there are many ways to do that. Home improvement can be done on a budget of any size.

Improve Your Use of Space by Increasing

So, you need more space in your home, but you do not want to add on? Here are some ways that you can expand your storage capabilities without sprawling your house further than it needs to go. For a little money, you can use wasted space high up on walls for shelves. Or you can use storage ottomans, window seats with storage, or any other furniture that has a bonus storage capability like that. For a little more money, transform outdoor areas into living areas for eating or lounging. Rethink how different rooms can be used.

Place books shelves in the guest bedroom or create a mini-office in a corner of the kitchen. If you have non-supporting walls that are hindering your view and the flow of energy through your home, put a hole in them or knock them out completely. For a lot more money, add another floor to your house rather than another room on the ground. If you will only need the space occasionally, put a prefabricated building outdoors. (more…)

There are many ways to improve the efficiency of your home ranging from small, inexpensive changes to major projects. No matter how much you are able to spend, making changes can make your home a healthier and cheaper place to well. Here are some ways to make improvements on a budget of any size.

Improve Indoor Air

One of the problems of having an energy efficient home is that the air does not get circulated as much. If a house leaks a little bit of air, there is a constant flow. But sealing up a house also seals in toxins. A cheap fix is to avoid anything that puts fumes into the air. Check that you have adequate ventilation to the outdoors. And change the filters in your air intake and your furnace regularly. If you are able to make an upgrade, replace carpet with hard floors.

Replace all furniture that is made from fiberboard or plywood to reduce formaldehyde in the air. If you can afford a larger investment, think about getting fresh-air exchangers that replace stale air with fresh air. Or install a whole-house fan that pulls stale air out of the house and takes it outside. If you choose this, though, be sure you open windows so that the air will be replaced with fresh air. (more…)
