"Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home
For there the heart can rest."

Tips To Avoid Common HOME REMODELING Mistakes



Tip #1: Don't Make KITCHEN ISLAND Too Big
(Use 3-feet wide to no more than 10 feet and for depth try
at least 26 inches or as much as 48 inches)

Tip #2: Carefully Plan STORAGE

(Dishes and Glasses need at least 4 to 6 linear feet of
Cabinet Space above or near the sink and dishwasher)

Tip #3: Choose the Right RANGE HOOD

(The Hood should be at least as WIDE AS COOK TOP
below. Over an ISLAND, your RANGE HOOD should
be at least 6 inches WIDER THAN THE COOK TOP)

Tip #4: Use UNDER-CABINET LIGHTS

(Under-Cabinet lights brighten the work surface and make
cooking easier.)

8 HOME UPGRADES That Add Value To YOUR HOME!



1) MASTER BATH

Consider upgrading the shower to a frameless glass shower
enclosure, adding new fixtures, and maybe a new vanity and
countertops.

2) KITCHEN

Cabinet resurfacing and upgrading the countertops can be very
affordable and give a big splash. One word of caution: Make
sure you don’t overspend for your neighborhood. Know your
market.

3) NEW CARPET

When you replace the existing carpet, go with a neutral shade.

4) PAINT

Repaint the interior of your home and keep it neutral with soft
earth tones.

10 HOME IMPROVEMENTS Buyers Want To See



1) KITCHEN REMODEL

(One of the primary things people look for when buying a new
house is a spacious, modern, up-to-date kitchen. It can
merely be something as simple as making sure the kitchen
looks shiny and new by buying cabinets that match.)

2) BATHROOM REMODEL

(Making sure that everything in the bathroom is updated is
definitely a key home improvement that will help you sell your
house.)

3) MORE SPACE

(Adding more space onto your house could be another way to
make some money when you sell your house. More and more
people are looking for bigger houses, so adding a basement,
attic, or a couple new rooms could be the way to go.)

4) REPAINTING THE EXTERIOR & INTERIOR

(Sometimes there’s nothing like a fresh coat of paint to make a
house look practically new. Adding a fresh coat of paint to the
interior and exterior of the house will do wonders.)

KITCHEN UPGRADE Mistakes To Avoid!

----> CERAMIC FLOORING

Hard ceramic is not the type of flooring you want to stand on
for long periods.

----> INCONVENIENT ISLANDS

Adding an island that comes between the sink and fridge isn't
such a good idea. Design the island so that it adds
convenience - not steps - to your day.

----> CHEAP CABINETS

Cheaply made cabinets will be quick to show wear and tear
under heavy use. Instead of replacing your well-made
current cabinets with lesser-quality ones, freshen them up
with new paint or hardware instead.

----> SHORT CABINETS

That space between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling is
either going to collect dust or clutter. Rather than have a
kitchen with dead space, maximize your storage by installing
cabinets that go to the ceiling.

----> MARBLE COUNTER TOPS

Marble is expensive and can regularly cost well in excess of
$100 per square foot. If you are remodeling to sell, it may be
hard to recoup your investment if you live in a mid-level
neighborhood.

Remodeling Your Home With NATURAL LIGHT!



----> Plan your design around large, FLOOR-TO-CEILING, or
ADJACENT WINDOWS to make a space seem not only
brighter and more open.

----> Many realtors note the influence of NATURAL LIGHT from a
SKYLIGHT on potential buyers.

----> Figure out where you want to PRIORITIZE the NATURAL
LIGHT coming into your home. Do you rise with the sun?
You will want east-facing bedrooms with large windows.

----> Over-the-shoulder lighting in the afternoon may be ideal for
you; consider a wall of windows in a west-facing room.

----> Consider a RECESSED LEDGE with LED ROPE LIGHTING.

5 MONEY & SPACE-SAVING Tips for BATH REMODELING!



Create a Relaxing, Spacious AND Functional Bathroom

1) DITCH A TOILET WITH A TANK

(It takes up valuable above-the-bowl storage room that could
be the perfect place to hang a cabinet or an eye catching piece
of art.)

2) GET RETRO WITH VINYL

(Instead of buying expensive tile flooring, use vinyl. Not only is
it a perfect choice for a bathroom — it happens to be
seamless, waterproof, and easy to maintain.)

3) MAKE IT EYE-CATCHING

(Choose one wall or area and tile it. It will generate a stunning
focal point and add color to the shower and tub walls.)

4) BE UNSINKABLE

(A floating sink creates the illusion of space and offers a great
storage spot for miscellaneous products or baskets full of
towels.)

5) GET HEATED

(A heated towel rack may seem like an indulgence, but not only
will it keep your towels toasty but it also comfortably warms the
bathroom.)
