| DIY Tips to Remodel your Bathroom | | 2008-08-23 05:56:01 | | Today's guest blogger is Sarah Scrafford who writes for International Listings. Bathrooms have come a long way from the utility rooms they were a few years ago. Most people are now looking to create a private space where they can unwind after a long day’s work soaking in a bubble bath with scented candles, music or a book for company. If you’re looking to redo your bathroom and spice up the way it looks, hiring a contractor and plumber could end up becoming a very costly affair, one that would only add to your stress as you wonder about meeting the payments, rather than help you relax.Do-it-Yourself (DIY) improvements are in vogue these days, because people are beginning to realize the value of working on their own homes in terms of money, quality and personal satisfaction. While a few jobs are best left to professionals, the level of complexity of a majority of the tasks involved in almost all DIY projects has come down, with easy-to-install equipment and know-how being freely ava | | By: Helpful Advice for Home Construction Improvement | | |

There are some amenities that you see in the bathrooms for multi-million dollar homes that can be incorporated into your master bath for between $400 and $8,000. One of the easiest jobs to tackle is the lighting. The recessed bathroom lighting is so popular with contractors will cause shadows over your bathroom vanity unless you have some additional light source.Remodel a bathroom floor plan by having a floor heating system installed under your bathroom floor. Imagine stepping out of the shower onto a warm custom heated floor. The floor heating will help to warm up the bath with floor to ceiling warmth. Another inexpensive element that can be included when you remodel your bathroom is an chromo- therapy system. Streams of color can be shown through either standing or running water. This helps to relax you. You can buy bath, shower, and sink systems with chromo-therapy options. | | By: All of Home | | |
| | $6,000 Kitchen Remodel Project Is Amazing | | 2008-06-10 19:26:54 | | The fine folks at This Old House asked me to share quite the kitchen remodeling success story with you. A young couple with children recently remodeled their 1970's style kitchen into a beautiful new kitchen on a $6,000 budget! They were able to accomplish the amazing kitchen remodel by finding great deals on Craigslist and local shops along with doing most of the work themselves. I know what kitchen remodels cost and I'm amazed at what they accomplished on such a tight budget. One of the great things about Craigslist is not only the great buys you can find but it's a great way to recycle things and help with the Green movement. When we lived in Boston and renovated our first home I used Craigslist to giveaway the old windows that we replaced. Instead of putting them in a landfill I placed an ad giving them away for free. A local artist actually took them to use as canvas' for paintings. So check out this great kitchen makeover and also check out Craigslist for buying used stuff.Tags: | | By: Helpful Advice for Home Construction Improvement | | |

We've been fixing up the place this summer, putting in new carpeting and new appliances, and that's whetted my appetite for new furniture.

| | Kitchen Remodel Can Update Busiest Room | | 2007-11-09 17:20:00 | | By Ray NwambuonwoAfter many years of looking at my same old kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances, it may be time for a kitchen remodel to update the most used room in the house. While many will think a fresh coat of paint a good first step, just ask the person who uses the room the most for opinions. They will know how vast the kitchen remodel needs to be to make it more elegant and more user-friendly.Making the room more attractive and appealing for all the family members is great, but making it more convenient in which to work will make it even better. Organizing the cabinets and appliances to be within reach for the job being performed can almost make kitchen duties fun. During a kitchen remodel, replacing or refinishing cabinets and countertops can make a lasting impression, but do not forget the kitchen flooring, making sure it matches the new color scheme.If the decision is made to also replace the countertops, consider replacing the sink and faucets as well. A scuffed sink with tarnished fixtures will stand out like a sore thumb, especially following an extensive kitchen remodel. Replacing hardware on refinished cabinets can also add to the new look.Organizing appliances to existing spaceSimply because a stove or refrigerator has always been in a particular position, does not mean it cannot be moved. About the only rule in appliance arrangement during a kitchen remodel is to separate the stove from the refrigerator by at least one cabinet and try to keep the stove away from the sink. Heat from the stove may cause refrigeration problems and water from the sink splashing on the stove is never a good thing.Other than those guidelines, the kitchen remodel can be done to make living more convenient for everyone. Ideally, the refrigerator is typically placed close to a door and a counter to make putting groceries away more convenient, taking less steps from the car to the unit. There is some debate on whether dishes should be stored over the dishwasher for | | By: Home Interior Design and Decorating Tips | | |

| | Are You Getting the Most Money Out of Your Kitchen Remodel? | | 2007-02-09 06:39:52 | |
Scenario: “I’m 100% sure to make money if I remodel my kitchen!”
Are you planning to sell your home? Imagine how disappointed you’d be after spending tens of thousands on your kitchen remodel and not sell your house for the results you wanted.
According to the Cost vs. Value Report by Specpan Market Research, the average amount lost to a major kitchen remodel is an incredible 19.6%. We can teach you how to beat the average and get the most out of your money by knowing three things:
1. Know your Neighborhood
Since resale value is a major factor if your decision to remodel, you should get a free estimate of your kitchen and ask an experienced realtor about the prices in your neighborhood. Alternatively, you can check Domainia to see how much houses in your neighborhood have sold for. Rising house prices will typically return your investment.
2. Know the Trends
