You’ve
been looking at your hardwood floors and you know you need to do something but you just haven’t gotten
around to it. Well, now’s the time! While you’re at it maybe it’s time for a
change as well? You can sand and refinish the floors yourself and save a ton of
money and maybe a different shade will bring new life to your entire home.
Besides, this is one investment in time that will pay big dividends in your
biggest investment.
Carpets Need a
Good Cleaning?
Today
many people prefer hardwood floors to carpet on the main level of their home
but carpet is still popular too. If you have carpeting in your home I can
guarantee that it’s a lot dirtier than it looks! Give it a good cleaning by
renting a carpet cleaner and it will look and feel much cleaner. This goes double if you have pets.
Dingy Room Need
a Fresh Coat of Paint?
Take
a good look at each room in your home. There’s always one that needs a fresh
coat of paint more than the others. Now’s your chance to get it done and while
you’re at it why not change the color for a whole new look? You can find the
time if you try and a new coat of paint always make a room feel fresh and
clean.
Time for a Good
Winter Cleaning?
Sure,
just about everyone gives their home a thorough spring cleaning but what about
during the cold season? January is the ideal time to clean your home from top
to bottom. Most of us live in a cold weather climate and our house is sealed up
for months with no fresh air. You might not realize it but your home gets just
as dusty in the winter as it does in the summer. Freshen up the entire house
with a good spring time like cleaning!
Kitchen Cabinets
Need a New Look?
OK.
You are just sick and tired of looking at the same old kitchen cabinets. Since
you’re sealed up in your home during the cold weather season anyway, there’s no
excuse! A new coat of paint or a refinish will make your kitchen look like a
million bucks and your “new” kitchen will be ready in time for spring!
Tired of Looking
at the Same Four Walls?
We
all get a touch of claustrophobia this time of year and redecorating is the
perfect cure. Change the furniture around for a fresh look and move pictures
and artwork to different locations. Something as simple as swapping lamps from
different rooms can give you that “new home” feel and this fun task won’t cost
you one red cent!
Too Much Stuff –
Not Enough Space?
If
you had too much clutter before the holidays chances are good that you have
even more now. The time has come to go through all of those things in the
closets, attic and garage. If you haven’t seen it in a year and forgot that you
had it than you probably don’t need it! Get rid of all that extra stuff and
reorganize. A yard sale in the spring could bring a little extra cash and Ebay
is always available.
Time to
Redecorate?
Now
that you’ve cleaned out the attic you might have discovered some real gems that
you do want to keep. If so than you
can use those items to help redecorate and add some variety to your home. Why
buy when you can retry?
Tired of that
Boring Guest Bath or Walk In Closet?
Have
you considered adding wallpaper to a room in your home? There’s plenty to
choose from and this weekend project is a great way to give a room new personality
for very little money.
“Burnt Out”
Looking at the Same Old Fireplace?
If
you have a fireplace in the living room or family room a few simple changes can
give it new life. You can add fresh flowers to the mantle to freshen things up
a bit and change any framed pictures for a new look. While you’re there you
might consider giving the fireplace a good cleaning too. Remember, a clean
fireplace is a safe fireplace.
