In today's market many people are choosing to stay put rather than try to sell their homes. Even if you hate your bathroom, need an extra bedroom or rather eat out than have to walk in an ugly kitchen again, you can love the home you're in without spending a fortune!
The most popular upgrades are kitchens, bathrooms and basements. Here are some tips to love the home you're in:
KITCHENS
There are many ways to improve the look and feel of your kitchen without a huge price tag. Just painting or re staining your existing cabinets, adding a new countertop and applying a fresh coat of paint in a cheerful color can really make the kitchen feel new. There are lots of low cost flooring options as well.
BATHROOMS
Installing a half or whole bath in a bedroom or small corner of the house can make a huge difference! It adds value to your home - not to mention cut down on arguing over who gets the bathroom first!
BASEMENTS
You are paying for ALL of your house - why not use it? Finishing a basement can give you an extra bedroom for an older child or guest suite, have a space for toys and rambunctious children to play, or a relaxing hub for watching family movies. Check around for several bids on the job - it is more reasonable than you might think!
FIX THE SMALL THINGS
Minor repairs that go unfixed can lead to bigger problems, such as a faucet leak. They also nag at your ever full to-do list. When all the small fixes are finished - you will have piece of mind and stuff that works right, making you love your home even more.
