Home Improvements and Which Ones to Do

Whether you plan to sell in the near future, or just want to improve the value of your home, here is one low cost improvement you should consider.

Paint the interior. If you haven't painted in 10 years or more, your ceiling is probably looking dull and the colors on your walls are out of style.

New home owners have a tendency to use the same color throughout most of their house. That color is usually white, or another neutral color. You can increase the value of your home by choosing more contemporary colors, oftentimes selecting more vibrant colors for at least a few rooms in your home. Freshly painted ceilings will brighten your home.

January

Many people choose the New Year as a reason to make positive changes to their lives. If you are making resolutions this month, make sure they are reasonable. Set yourself up for success, not failure.

Pope Gregory XIII established January as the first month of the year but January is named after Janus, the Roman god of doors, beginnings, sunrise and sunset. Janus had one face looking backwards and one looking forwards, an apt image for reflecting on the past year and yet still facing the upcoming year.
The birth flower for January is the Carnation or the Snowdrop. The modern birthstone is Garnet (strength, health, prosperity, and perseverance) and the traditional birthstone is Rose quartz (forgiveness and emotional balance).
