Easy Ways to

Update Your Kitchen The kitchen is often the heart of the home, but renovating it can arguably be one of the most expensive and arduous tasks. When it comes to updating your home, moving plumbing, knocking out cabinets, and buying big ticket items may cause headaches for homeowners. However, there are simpler ways to update these rooms so they look fresh and new again.

1. PAINT THE CABINETS In lieu of getting brand new oak or walnut cabinets, opt for staining or painting your original cabinets instead. Though painting all of your cabinets white may make it seem a bit sterile, it’s a really great way to open up a small kitchen and make it seem spacious. To create a kitchen with a little more personality, paint your upper cabinets a light color such as white, cream or light blue; and paint your lower cabinets a darker color, like slate, navy, or black. For a more practical approach, try using chalkboard paint. You can use the upper cabinets to keep track of needed grocery items and important dates, while your children can go to town on the lower cabinets—and leave your walls alone.

2. ADD UNIQUE TILES Tile is a great way to add color, pattern, and personality to your kitchen. For a classic look, a simple white subway tile backsplash will brighten up your kitchen without making it look too cluttered and busy. Using colored or patterned tiles for a kitchen floor is a great way to show the age and history of a home. Pick up a navy floral print tile to bring color and whimsy to an all-white kitchen, complete with butcher block countertops, and open upper cabinets.

3. UPDATE AND ALTERNATE FIXTURES Changing out your handles and knobs is as easy as using a screwdriver.

Hardware stores often have a wide variety of unique and colorful knobs that will add an instant pop of color. If you are looking to open up the look of your kitchen, try unscrewing the doors from your cabinets. This will give your kitchen an airy feeling and allow you to display some of your more unique serving platters and china pieces.

4. CHANGE OUT LIGHTING Adding more light to your kitchen will make it seem much more spacious and inviting. Installing a window can be expensive, so try adding light colors and new brighter light bulbs to brighten your space instead. You can also add pendant lighting above your kitchen island in addition to your existing recessed lighting. This will add extra light to your space or warm ambiance when desired.

5. ACCESSORIZE Accessorizing your home is a simple way to give any space an instant facelift.

It’s also an effective way to bring your personality to your home. When accessorizing your kitchen, using practical and functional accessories is key to keeping your counter clutter free. Colorful bookends will keep your cookbooks in order, while kitschy salt and pepper shakers and a flea market woven rug will add vibrant energy.

DIY PLANTERS YOU CAN MAKE THIS WEEKEND Classic planters will never go out of style, but there are so many ways to get creative and give your plant and flower pots a unique twist. DIY doesn’t have to be difficult, even for those of us who are less than crafty. Transforming the way you showcase your flowers and plants is much easier than you may think, and it’s a great way to bring some personality to your living space.

HERE ARE 7 FUN DIY PLANTERS YOU CAN MAKE OVER THE WEEKEND

1. MINI SHELL POTS If your decor has a beachy feel, these adorable mini shell pots are a perfect addition to your home. Use hermit crab or snail shells so there’s enough space inside to add and secure the soil. Small-growing succulents will give an interesting look to these little shells and your home.

2. RECYCLED CANS When you’re finished with your canned goods, you can reuse the cans to create fun planters. Drill a few holes in the bottoms of the cans for drainage and then spray paint them any color you choose. If you’re more artistic, you can create fun and funky patterns. These little tin can planters add a great touch to window sills or table tops.

3. RUSTIC PLANTER BOX If you’re style of decor can be described as shabby chic, you will adore this rustic wooden planter box. If you have some old wood lying around that looks weathered, you’re in luck. If not, you can buy new wood and distress it using sandpaper. Measure and cut the wood to your desired size, then add pilot holes and screws.

4. FABRIC COVERED POTS Fabric covered pots help you achieve a detailed look without the hard work.

Pick out your favorite fabrics from the craft store and grab some Mod Podge glue. Once you apply the glue to your terra cotta pot, smooth the fabric over and leave it to dry overnight. The next day, you’ll come back to a beautiful decorative garden pot.

5. MASON JARS Mason jars can be used in a variety of ways throughout the home, and planters are no exception. You can spray paint the jars in just about any color for a fun look, or leave them as is for a simpler feel. Just make sure to use small to medium sized plants to ensure they have plenty of room to grow.

6. CHALKBOARD PAINTED POTS Chalkboard painted decor has become very popular over the last few years. If you have plain ceramic planters lying around, you can give them a little edge by adding chalkboard paint to the entire pot, or just a small section using a template. Make sure you have some chalk handy to write the plant or herb names.

7. PAINT DRIP PLANTERS The paint drip technique is fun and super easy. Simply drip paint over the top or bottom of your planter, and voila, you have a piece of art. You can also use this technique on metal cans. Just drip paint over the edges of the cans to create unique flower and plant pots that add some stylish flair to your garden.

RENOVATE YOUR PLACE WITHOUT

BREAKING THE BANK

We all know that every home needs a facelift every now and then. Whether you’re trying to sell your home or turn it into a more elegant place to live, updates and renovations make a world of difference.

These projects can sometimes be costly, so we’ve put together some ideas to add the most class for the least cash.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

There’s nothing like a spectacular view to change your perspective. If you want to spruce up your digs, then your first step is to dust off that paint brush. Painting doesn’t have to be expensive or labor intensive - keep it simple and affordable by choosing an interior door or a single wall to liven up. Study how the lighting in your home affects this surface, and paint it with a fresh, bright color or a rich, deep hue. Remember that the success of a painting project lies in thorough preparation. For under $50 and a Saturday afternoon, you can change the whole feel of a room.

HARDWARE FOR HOME FLAIR

When selling your home, the kitchen should dazzle potential buyers more than any other room.

But what if you don’t have the budget to replace your outdated kitchen cabinets? Replacing cabinet hardware is the next best thing. You may be surprised at how much of an impact a modern update from those old wooden knobs will make to the overall look of your kitchen, and for very little money. Plus, replacing hinges and drawer guides provides the perfect opportunity to clean out your drawers.

ROYAL ROOM RENOVATION

Every monarch needs a crown, so if you think your home is fit for a king and queen, show it with crown molding. There is crown molding for every budget, and it’s simple to install on your own. Like the perfect frame for a work of art, crown molding adds a nice finishing touch to any room. But why stop at crown molding around the ceilings? A chair rail around the dining room attracts the eye and protects the wall.

LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE

Ask a photographer, set designer, or painter what the single most powerful element of any landscape is, and they’ll likely give you the same answer: “Light.” If your renovation budget is too tight to knock down walls, build a patio, or install skylights, consider new light fixtures instead. A bold, modern fixture breathes new life into your space. Pay close attention to scale and light temperature for maximum impact. If your home has a vintage vibe, a ceiling medallion can add architectural interest.

ANOTHER MAN’S TREASURE…

So you took all the advice of this article, your home looks fresh and new, and you still have money left over? Great. Take that remaining cash down to your local architectural salvage or repurposing center. Salvage materials have been around as long as buildings have been built (and demolished), but the DIY spirit has never been stronger than it is today. At the salvage center, let your mind wander. Talk to the proprietors. More than likely, they’ll know about every tile, panel, and every kitchen sink. If you have an idea in mind, they will help make it a reality. And if you don’t have an idea in mind, you are still bound to find inspiration for your next home project.

House Cleaning Tips to Make Your Walk-Through a Breeze Source: MerryMaids.com, AngiesList.com

Preparing your home for a walkthrough can be tough, especially when you’re still living in the house. Sellers often find themselves needing these everyday items, but don’t particularly want them to be seen by potential buyers. It’s likely that your house will be visited multiple times a week, so use these simple tricks the next time you decide to clean your house in a hurry. You’ll be ready for a walkthrough at a moment’s notice!

Bedrooms • REMAKE BEDS Strip off the old linens and replace them with new ones so they look crisp. Tuck sheets in at the corner. Try using pastels or bright colors to make the room look even more vibrant than it already is.

• CLEAR CLUTTER Put everything out of sight in places like drawers, baskets or in the closet. Having marked bins in your closet will make the process much simpler and organized. Just dump your belongings into a large bin to be accessed as needed.

• CLEAN FURNITURE Wipe down furniture with a damp cloth or use the vacuum cleaner hose to get rid of dust and debris. Dust all the surfaces! Remember, dust tends to lead potential buyers to the assumption that your house is dirty or unmaintained, so be sure not to leave any dust behind. Use long-armed dusters on your ceiling fan, art or mirrors.

Bathrooms • WIPE THE BATHROOM MIRROR Home buyers will naturally visualize themselves getting ready in this bathroom in the future, so provide them a crystal clear view into what could be theirs! Use a glass mirror cleaner to wipe off marks, starting from the top corner and continuing in a circular motion.

• CLEAN THE TOILETS Be sure to give some extra TLC to your guest bathroom because it will be most used by your potential buyers during a walk-through.

• WASH THE SINK Scrub the spots around the sink and fixtures with a brush. Once you’re finished, use a cleaner and cloth to get the rest of the sink spotless.

• WIPE THE SHOWER/TUB AREA Use a damp cloth to wipe down the shower and tub area. If there are any hard spots of grime, use a hard cleaner to remove it.

• MOP THE FLOOR Use a mop to quickly clean the floor of your bathroom, starting in the far corner and ending at the room’s door or entryway.

Kitchen • WIPE APPLIANCES by using a damp cloth to wipe down the fridge, dishwasher, and cooktop area.

• HAVE A CLEAN SINK & STOVE Be sure the sink is free and clear by emptying your dishwasher and loading your dirty dishes. Nothing makes a kitchen less appealing than a dirty and cluttered sink. Clean your stove top burners before putting them back on the stove top for a neater look.

• MOP THE FLOOR Be sure to also remove any sticky or stained spots. If you have hardwood floors, invest in a wood cleaner that you can spray on the surface to keep it looking refreshed.

First sweep and then mop the floor, starting from the back and working your way out.

Living and Dining Rooms • DUST OFF THE BLINDS Don’t forget to dust off or touch up the paint on your wooden blinds. These are often forgotten, but can really impact the way a room appears on first glance.

Remember to keep the blinds open for the best possible first impression!

• CLEAN THE CARPET Even though the carpet usually takes the most abuse during a walk-through, you want to make sure there’s plenty of brightness. It may be worth investing in a small carpet steamer or carpet cleaner in case your flooring needs a quick cleaning right before a walk-through.

• USE GLASS CLEANER Use a glass cleaner to wipe down anything made of glass in your living or dining room.

• ELIMINATE PET HAIR If you have pets, be sure to use the vacuum cleaner to suck up any pet hair that may be laying on the carpet, rugs, or furniture.

Six deck styles Which One is Right for Your Home?

There

are many reasons to build a deck in your yard.

Besides

the added

value to your home, a deck gives you plenty of extra living space.

Nothing

is better than stepping outside onto a beautiful deck to enjoy a good meal, relax or entertain friends and family.

When choosing the appropriate deck style for your home, assess your living and entertaining needs. Do you enjoy eating outdoors? Do you throw parties often? Do you prefer to relax in the sun or under the shade? How many people live in your home? Will you have a grill or hot tub on the deck?

Along with your personal needs, the size of your home and lot may also dictate the kind of deck you can install. A yard with an unusual shape or slope may call for a different style deck than a yard with a flat terrain. Start with these six options to find the deck that works best for your home.

I. Attached An attached deck is connected to the house. This is the most common deck style, usually built at the back of the house, and can be raised or level with the yard. This deck gives you easy in-and-out access and becomes an extension of your interior living space.

II. Island An island deck is a free-standing deck installed away from the house and out in the yard. You might have an especially lovely cluster of trees and want to take advantage of the shade, or maybe there is a pond or flower garden next to which it makes sense to build a relaxing seating area. Maybe you simply want to create a “secret garden� deck away from your home. This deck is more an extension of your yard than of your house.

III. Floating A floating deck is built on a platform and seems to “float” above the ground. The foundation and structure pieces are hidden underneath. A floating deck is low to the ground and can work on uneven or rocky terrain, as you don’t have to worry about leveling the area like you would with a concrete or stone patio.

IV. Wraparound A wraparound deck is built on two or more sides of the house. It allows you to take advantage of multiple views, and when one side of the house gets too sunny, you can move to the shade while remaining outdoors.

V. Multi-level Multi-level or tiered decks are perfect for yards with steep slopes or uneven terrain, or for homes with two or more stories. Connected with a series of stairs or pathways, they take advantage of the great views a taller home has to offer and create several spots for entertaining and relaxing. Multi-level decks can also consist of wide stairs that lead down to the yard. Each stair is extended to become a mini-deck of its own, creating additional space for seating or entertaining.

Vi. Around a Tree If you have a grand old tree, consider building a deck around it. This style is similar to an island deck in that it’s not attached to the house. For a more natural look, add wood furniture and chairs for seating.

Get creative and have fun designing your new outdoor living space. Try built-in seating around the edge instead of traditional railings, add custom planters for an intimate flower or herb garden, or install an outdoor kitchen or fire pit on your deck. The ideas are endless!

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST BATHROOM COLOR Choosing a new bathroom color doesn’t have to be an intimidating task.

In fact, simple changes in wall or accent colors can make a drastic difference with minimum impact on your wallet. Here are some quick tips and ideas on how to select the color that’s perfect for your palette!

Start by brainstorming. Do you want light or dark colors? Is there a specific theme you’re going for such as a summer retreat, a relaxing adult spa theme, or a family friendly bathroom? Once that’s decided, figure out which color you think would look best. Keep in mind that small spaces tend to look better when painted a neutral or a light color.

Review all your options. Does your bathroom have good lighting? A sky light or window can make a huge difference. If you aren’t able to decide on one color, it’s pretty safe to choose a neutral color, base color, and accent color of your choice. Don’t be afraid to paint a small space on the wall to test colors once you’ve narrowed down your final options. Most hardware stores offer low cost or even free paint samples, which saves you money until you’re ready to buy the final color.

Consider wallpaper. Remember that paint is not permanent, and a wall color can be changed at any point, but if you are looking for an easier option than paint, then wallpaper is for you. Wallpaper has made a quick comeback in the design world, and there are so many patterns and colors to choose from.

Test it first. To test out a wall color in your bathroom, try buying a single strip of self-sticking or peel and paste wallpaper. You can also find inspiration from a house in a design magazine, or try to recreate a bathroom you’ve seen on television or even in person! Creating a unique rendition of another bathroom allows you to personalize more of the details, and even save money on paint and other decorations.

Paint to fit your mood. If a serene and calming bathroom is what you want, try shades and hues that you find relaxing. A relaxing bathroom wall color is the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. If you’re feeling daring, let your wild side out in the bathroom by using a color that complements the rest of your home, but adds a unique flair like no other.

Then use fun prints and accent colors to tie it all together! This can be done with hand towels, floor mats, small wall decorations, and even a small shrub or potted plant.

Do what you feel comfortable with. If you’re apprehensive about painting your bathroom walls, swap out the hardware on the vanity and drawers for new and unique knobs. A new toothbrush holder, decorative shower curtains, or a piece of wall art could also be the color change your bathroom needs!
