Notes:

• Start with an inspiration board so you understand your style. As you look at the internet and magazines, capture screenshots and cut out pages with your favorite styles.
• After a while, your style becomes clear. Once you’ve identified your style, it’s time to look at your actual home.
• If you’re new to remodeling, starting small is a good idea. Look at your budget first. Keep in mind that remodel projects sometimes take on a life of their own.
• If you don’t set your budget and plan well, the project could expand way past your comfort zone.
• Take a look around the house and identify your least favorite spots. What don’t you like? Sometimes all that’s needed is a small change such as new light fixtures.
• Start with the front entryway. Is the lighting poor? Is the fixture outdated? Updating entryway light fixtures is easy and inexpensive.

Fresh paint

Notes:

• One of the easiest fixes is a fresh coat of paint. It’s something you can do yourself and doesn’t break the bank. Wondering which paint is best? Most paint stores offer small, inexpensive samples.
• Pick up a few samples of your favorite colors, bring them home, and paint a few wide swaths across the walls. This gives you a good idea of what the finished wall will look like.
• If you plan on selling within the next couple of years, stick with neutral colors throughout the house. If you’re planning on staying, go as bright and wild as your heart desires.
• Semi-gloss and gloss paints are great for kitchens, bathrooms, and window trim. They’re reflective and durable. Eggshell finishes and flat paints are good for bedrooms, dining, and living rooms.
