Tips for Renovating on a Budget With a Hammer Drill and Other Tools
Because times are tough economically, many homeowners have decided not to rejuvenate their dated home because they cannot afford to. If you're in that same situation, be assured that you can make your home look like new with upgraded features and not have to spend tons of money.
Make a Dramatic Change and Spend Less
Begin with fundamentals when contemplating a remodel. Start from the top of the room and work your way down. This is the foundation for your remodel. If you have bumpy and texturized, consider either repainting it a crisp, white color or hiring someone to remove and replace it it with a smooth pattern. Don't forget to apply a thick primer before your paint coat! Next, look at the walls and choose a neutral shade that will go with a brighter and more natural mood and will go with any designs and decorations. Patch holes and dents in the walls to give the home a finished look. Next, continue with the floor areas: are the floors and baseboards in good repair? If yes, repaint the baseboards a nice white color to make the home look modern and attractive. If you plan to rip out and re-cover the floors, consider ceramic tiles, because they are low cost per square foot and look great much longer than carpet does. If you will be installing carpet, choose a compact pile that is a shade of brown or beige so that spills won't show as much and the carpet will be resistant to crushing for years to come.
Save Money and Do It Yourself
Renovating your bathrooms and kitchen are the wisest fixes you can put into your living quarters. If the cabinetry is structurally sound, consider either repainting the existing cabinets or replacing them. If you will be refacing them, get a good hammer drill and take off the hardware from the cabinet doors to release them. If needed, new doors can be purchased from your local hardware store. For an even better money-saving renovation, choose to refinish the existing cabinets. Again, detach the doors from the cabinets and then apply a paint stripper to the existing finish and scrape it off with a special scraper made from hard plastic just for this purpose. Once all trace of the old finish has been removed, sand the cabinets once over with a drum sander using medium-grit sandpaper. A final sanding should be completed with a fine-grade sandpaper after that. Rub the cabinets with a cloth to remove the dust and then spread a wood conditioner to the cabinets. Finally, stain or paint the wood and finish it with 2-3 clear coats to protect the finished product from exposure to moisture.
Furniture Improvement
Upgrading your decorative items is an uncomplicated, but significant way to make your surroundings looking sharp. There are great deals at estate sales, second-hand shops, or on the Web which will save money. For even increased savings, make furniture pieces by hand. You can make a beautiful headboard, for example, with nothing more than two extra-large posts of wood, a wood lathe (you can rent this from someone), and a large rectangle of board made of wood. Cover the wood in the center area with some batting, fabric, and unique upholstery nails for a new headboard that is sure to impress!
Perhaps you're fixing up a new home or wanting to re-do the one you live in. Either way, these great tips for getting the most out of your home will help your living quarters look like new without spending a ton of dough in the process.
