At first I was so determined I could add at least a handful of ideas, but now I’m more like WOW. If there is something useful I could really add, is to advise homeowners to consider the wave of connected home devices, i.e. air conditioning and heating. There is nothing better than being able to turn heating on BEFORE I get home. Another personal favourite (as a man cave lover) are the ever more affordable home cinema systems. For some reason, us men seem to love big tv’s and solid audio surrounds. Another clever home improvement, that seems quite trendy lately, are high shelves and ceiling installations. The most common use are for book collections, but personally, I made myself a high shelf for my record collection. It is not only charming, but it puts space to use I would otherwise leave empty. I hope these suite you.

regards,
Dmitri

Seriously, though, I love that thing. I always keep a clean home, but recently I went on a “magic erasing spree” and cleaned all my white interior doors, handrails on my staircase, mantel, etc. It made a HUGE difference. (p.s. I promise I don’t work for Mr. Clean Magic Eraser – :p !)

Small inexpensive changes really make a difference. When we bought our co-op, it was owned by an elderly lady who kept it in nice condition but had outdated furniture, wallpaper, etc. Her apartment was not in demand but we overlooked those issues and got a great price on the place. We put a new paint of coat, changed the wallpaper, blinds, and a few other minor things and it looks much nicer. I’m looking into changing the cabinet hardware and possibly doing the backsplash…

I do not know why people paint walls a bright white color, it looks…weird. I painted them a tan eggshell sort of color and make the place look a lot better.

Goodbye Erin! I always loved reading your posts on here.

It cost $200 for all the tiles and were lucky to borrow a wet saw for free. I measured the tiles, my Dad cut and my wife laid the tiles. It really made the kitchen pop that much more.

Thanks for the awesome tips!!!
