Do It Yourself Home Renovations, A Primer

So, you’re a handy man… or woman. You know how to swing a hammer and which screwdriver to use on what screw. You probably even own a few power tools. Plus, you had some on the job experience. You built the kids a tree house, right? Then you spent that summer helping your uncle lay new tile. If this sounds like you, then you are a perfect candidate to try some moderate to simple do-it-yourself home renovations.   Before starting the project, you’ll want a detailed plan to follow. Some drawings of what you want to accomplish might be nice, too. Then, of course, you can use these to complete a detailed list of supplies that you’ll need to purchase. Still, being almost a professional, you already knew these things. If this is your first renovation, I’d suggest you start small. Instead of redoing the entire house, pick a room.

Then, depending on the work being done, you might have to rip up floors or knock out walls. Before you do any wall demolition, check...

Front Room Furnishings, To Make A Great First Impression

We all want to make a good impression. That’s why we take pains with our appearance and make sure we take the car through the wash. It’s no different when it comes to our homes. When we usher guests into our house for the first time, we want the things they see to reflect well upon us, to speak of our taste and style. That’s why front room furnishings are so important. They’re the furniture that makes that first impression.   Whether your home opens into a foyer and hall, or it opens into a spacious living area, the items with which you decorate that area need to set the stage. If your entryway is a hall area, you will want a nice looking coat tree, preferably with an umbrella stand to handle taking your guests’ outerwear. You might use a console table or a small sideboard  for decoration and to hold mail, keys and other items you like handy by the front entrance. Good flooring and a nice rug will garner admiration and a painting or other bit of nice art will create the finishing touch. You will have created an entryway to remember. If, on the other hand, your “front” room...

First Choice Home Furnishings

You want the best for your home and family. That means, of course, that you’d love to fill your house with the highest quality furniture  and appliances. Unfortunately, the better the quality of the item, the more it usually costs. How can you afford to fill your house with first choice home furnishings in a tough economy like this one? Here are a couple of suggestions that might help.   First, before you discount your ability to afford the better-made and more stylish items, check out all of the vendors. That means checking local stores and also checking those who sell furniture via the world-wide-web. Many times on-line retailers will have better prices on the exact same item from the same manufacturer. Since they don’t operate showrooms or pay a salesperson’s commission, they can offer the item to you at a much lower price. There may be some shipping costs involved, but often even with shipping included, the item is still less expensive if purchased on line.   Another great tip for filling your home with first choice home furnishings, instead of cheaper imitations, is to take things slowly. It might be nice to do the entire living room in quality furniture , but it...

Commercial Property Renovation Trends, Old & New Coexisting Happily

When you are a professional, you keep abreast of the latest news in your field. That includes people whose job it is to take run down office buildings or other business properties and make them not only usable again, but to render them desirable. Recently, commercial renovation trends have taken a swing that leaves a bit of the old showing through the new to create a layered look. This look doesn’t say I’m an old building that looks new. It doesn’t pretend to be a brand new building. It says, instead, that it’s a great looking building with lots of furniture stores  experience. Nostalgia trends are a universal phenomenon. With the last of the baby-boomers now reaching their fifties, much of the money available to invest in rehabilitating old office or commercial spaces is being put up by folks who have fond memories of well-built buildings from their youth. Taking a wrecking ball to a great brick warehouse would be an insult. They would, however, be equally insulted if you tried to make it look like a modernist glass and chrome structure of today. What they want is a nice renovation of a great building that leaves the solid and sturdy...
