I will begin posting some how to's over the next little while!
From simple DIY issues to get your house show ready and increase it's value substantially:
- like leveling your cupboard doors in the kitchen
to
- putting a permanent end to the squeaky doors
As well, I will show you the tricks I've learned along the way:
- stripping popcorn ceilings
- wallpapering
- tiling
- replacing a ceiling fixture
- replacing a light switch for a dimmer switch
And for those who like to watch the design process:
- decision making: when you really want something but it is labour intensive and therefore cuts in to budget - but it will look Freak'n Amazing!! Should you or shouldn't you?
You will watch as I begin what should be a simple update of my front entrance. Currently builder basic from over 2 decades ago.
- Ripping up the old tile
- putting in new tile
- decision time on the labour intensive but oh so marvelous reno move...what COULD this be?!
- painting: decorative finish to keep costs down. Forgoing the wallpaper I want and recreating it with paint and stencil
- swapping out the existing lighting for something with a little more presence.
My Foyer Update will be a no budget reno for the most part. I will be scrounging for what I need and show you how to get the designer style with little to no budget...for REAL!
