Any HGTV viewer knows that renovating is far easier said than done. That doesn’t stop any of us from mentally making a few changes to our homes — whether we own them or not — even though we don’t intend to hire a contractor anytime soon. Or, perhaps a renovation is actually within reach, but you’re not pleased with the generic inspiration found at your local home superstore.
It doesn't matter if you've bought a newly built home, a condo in a maintained community, or a fixer-upper—owning your own place brings out the home improvement itch in us all (or at least requires us to do necessary repairs and maintenance tasks). Here are ten pieces of advice to help turn your dwelling place into a better home.
There are a range of inexpensive improvements that don't take much effort but can go a long way toward increasing your enjoyment of your home—and adding to its value too. Here are 5 such upgrades you can make for less than $500.
Everyone knows that remodeling a home takes a lot of planning. What will it cost? What will it look like? Who will build it? Where will we stay during construction?
