Do these house upgrades yourself

Submitted by v8 on Saturday April 18, 2009 No Comments

Two great rooms to remodel when you’re wanting to boost your home value are the kitchen and bathroom. Kitchen is first, but bathrooms can also give you a good return on your money. No one likes a gross bathroom, and an outdated one is also rather off putting. If you don’t have a big budget you can start small and just replace some simple features like the medicine cabinet, bathroom vanity or perhaps add a mirrored medicine cabinet.

How about the kitchen? It’s pretty easy to have a discussion about kitchen island carts. Many islands are setup for extra eating spaces, with fancy bar stools for seating, a buffet area of sorts where a variety of yummy dishes can be placed. But today’s islands also offer the chef a wide range of options depending on their own cooking habits. My mother has her cooktop range on the island, along with a microwave, a a built in curio cabinet for displaying her favorite collectibles. Other islands I’ve seen have the dishwasher built in, and even appliances like ice makers, trash compactors and small refrigerators. Yes, if you wanted your oven there you could. There’s really no limit to the way you can design your island to meet your needs.

What if you just want to update the bedroom? Sleigh beds for kids are a popular furniture piece in the bedrooms of many homes. They’ve been around for a long time. They are typically much larger than the standard bed frame, and would not be appropriate for a small bedroom, but large open spaces would be well suited for a piece like this.
