Inexpensive Tips to Remodel Your Home
Countertops can make a huge difference in updating your kitchen. There are many materials besides granite that still give a rich look. When you change out the countertops you will also be required to replace the sink to an under mount style and often change out the faucet. You may use a tile backsplash or like I choose to do in my office a solid slab backsplash to give a more integrated look.
Another instant upgrade is to change out the appliances. I love stainless appliances and I have them in my own home, but they are a lot of upkeep. I still specify black appliances, but I have not used white in about eight years. The new colored appliances are fun, but are they going to look like the avocado and harvest gold of the the seventies.
Paint is about the least expensive of the remodeling and redecorating tips I can recommend. I am always amazed when we change the trim color and the wall color to deeper tones how cozy and wonderful my clients home will feel. We have also been refinishing the floors to a much deeper tone and that sets off the new deep tones on the walls.
What I love most about my job is that each clients home is different and every new decorating challenge is fun and certainly not like the last project. Our clients have all sized budgets and we can accomplish a new look using many of these decorating tips.
