If you are like me, you'll gain a whole new appreciation of your home once you do a few simple things to cosmetically update your home.

You'll save a bunch of money if you can do it yourself or solicit the help of a handy friend or two! 

In the next blog post or two, I'm going to give you some simple examples of "do it yourself" cosmetic updates that will spruce up any home - and inexpensively!

In homes prior to the mid-80's, brass door knobs, cabinet pulls and hinges were the norm.  After the 1990's more products have come on the market. 

Finishes on plumbing fixtures such as nickel, satin, stainless steel and oil rubbed bronze are a welcome change!

Modern lever-style bedroom knob in oil rubbed bronze finishA person with a Phillips screwdriver, (that's the screwdriver with the "+" point on them), or even better a mechanical screwdriver, can easily remove a brass hinge and replace it with a modern color, say oil rubbed bronze.

Door knobs are the same thing.  It takes about 20 minutes per door once you get the hang of it; the change out is as easy as removing the old knob , inserting the new knob and tighting the screws!

You're on your way to updating your home inexpensively!
