A few simple improvements can help define your personal style
and will make your space feel more like home!
Kitchen
» Swap your knobs – Add a little pizzazz. Pick a pattern and finish that will accentuate your kitchen’s style and décor.
» Hang pendant light – Install one over your kitchen sink to create an elegant focal point and to make sure you can see as you scrub pots and pans!
» Create an island – Paint a beloved bureau, desk, or sideboard to match your cabinets and top with butcher block for extra work space. Extend 12” past one long side to create an instant breakfast bar.
» Open plate rack – Install one for a touch of cottage charm. It also makes storing everyday dishes a breeze and leaves your countertops clutter-free! |
|
Bath
» Dress up walls – Wainscot or simple strips of lumber can form a board-and-batten treatment that protects drywall and provides an anchor for installing hooks and towel rods.
» Wall Sconces – Install on each side of the mirror at eye level (66” from floor) for flattering lighting that won’t cast shadows on your face.
» Storage cubby – Carve a space between the wall studs in a space-challenged bathroom. Line it with beadboard and wrap the opening with trim or simply install a prefab wall niche, available in many shapes, sizes and designs! |
|
Living Space
» Wall Rack – Perfect for a closet-less entry. Install a rack with hooks and baskets for storage of coats, keys, and more. Customize it with paint for any look you would like.
» Stair Runner – Install for a splash of color and cushiony comfort. Woven cotton runners are affordable and easy to work with. Vacuum regularly to keep shipshape.
» Use Wallpaper – In small doses….it can be used to boost any room’s personality. Use to cover a door, add to stair risers, or line the back of a bookcase for a hint of color and pattern. Have fun exploring the wide array of colors and textures available. Be creative! |

Exterior
» Boost curb appeal – With container plants. This is an easy way to experiment with different plant varieties. You can even move them around until you find the perfect spot for their growth!
» Dress up your porch – Treat it like any other room in your house. Add homey touches like a painted floor, ceiling fan and comfy furnishings. Encourage guest to kick back and relax!
» Front Entry focal point – A handsome door painted in a vibrant hue will set your house apart from the neighbors and will cheerfully greet your guests. Complete the look with elegant hardware, furnishings, and plants.
» Doorbell – Install one that compliments your home’s style and other hardware. |
