The holidays are over
but the cold weather is still here. Now is a great time to tackle some indoor
projects! Try these 4 indoor projects when it’s cold outside.
Bathroom Transformation
As the smaller rooms of
a home, storage can be a problem in a bathroom. Adding shelves, wall, or
standalone cabinets can remedy this with fairly simple installation.
And home spas are all
the rage right now. Switching out old tubs for soaking or jetted tubs may not
be a DIY project, but well worth the investment! If your space doesn’t allow
for a bathtub, try changing out your shower head with a specialty one.
The Heart Of The Home
The kitchen becomes
outdated faster than any other room of a home. This happens because trends change
quickly affecting the whole room, from appliances to cabinets and counters. It
may be one of the more costly remodels, but an updated kitchen is still the
best return on investment with resale.
There are things you can
do to help with the cost however. Consider buying your appliances in a package
from the same store. The store may work with you if you purchase it all in one
place.
Another option is
painting the cabinets instead of replacing. A professional can do this at a
fraction of the cost of new cabinets.
Out With The Old...
Carpet has a very
limited lifetime due to everyday wear. A project many homeowners are tackling
themselves, is replacing carpet with other materials, such as wood or even tile
that looks like wood. There are even laminates that help with the budget.
Whether you want to eliminate carpet everywhere, or even in certain high
traffic areas, the options for flooring are so extensive now, this could be the
most fun of projects!
Improve Energy
Efficiency
Working in the attic may
not be the warner choice, but it’s the perfect reminder about energy
efficiency. Such barriers as attic insulation can improve the heating and
cooling of a home. Just like with other areas of the home, products such as
insulation have improved over the years. Clearing out the old insulation and
replacing with a better product, will help with comfort and also with utility
costs.

yourself or have a professional’s help, reserve one of our bins to help with
cleanup. We are here to help with your home year round!
