Sneak Peek
Sneak Peek: Jessica McKay and Christopher Van Buskirk. "Our guest
bedroom is small so I wanted it to feel cozy. We painted it in Sherwin-Williams
Urbane Bronze, added a contrasting bright bedding from Dwell Studio, and placed
a vintage textile from ebay at the foot of the bed. I paired new black drum
lampshades with vintage white lamps I found at a thrift store for bedside

Remodeling plan
Make a home remodeling plan. What all do you wish to change
in your home? Are you thinking of changing the flooring or do you want to
change the wall paint, window treatments, and home furnishings as well? Does
your home improvement plans include improving the home exterior like boundary
wall, garden, swimming pool, driveway, and patio, or do you just want to
improve the interiors of your home? Once you have made your home remodeling plans, compare it with the homes in your neighborhood. It would help you know what your home lacks and what all you must incorporate in your home remodeling plans in order to make your home the best in your area/locality.
improvement plans
Expensive home improvement plans do not always guarantee the best results. Constructing a swimming pool in your basement would not add much to the value of your home as compared to attractive exterior landscape or driveway in your home.
When buying tiles, marble, wood, paint, and other home construction material, shop around. The market is flooded with a wide range of materials in different price range. Determine the budget of your home improvement plans in advance to avoid over-spending.
