I have been wanting to paint my front door red for about a year. Finally got it done (4 coats of paint I might add), and it looks great. I also added some black and white tile to it and a customized saying (yet to be done). It took a while to noodle around in my head before it became reality but the end result is awesome! How about you? Got any home improvement projects on your “to do” list before the cold weather hits Iowa? According to Harvard University’s Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity; spending is expected to rise 12.2% by early 2013. Here are some staggering numbers to wrap your mind around. Complete home remodel: $192,724, new kitchen: $24,766, swimming pool: $34,190, bathroom remodel: $10,723 and new roof: $9,454. The average cost of a custom-built home is $576,460.00 so a bit remodeling here and there seems a lot more affordable. (These costs come from Remodeling Magazine).
What would you like to have new in your home? I see my home as a sanctuary and I want to happy in it when I slow down long enough to actually be home to enjoy it! So spruce up the front porch with pumpkins and corn stalks. Fall begins this Saturday, and it is never too soon to think about the holidays and what needs done before the relatives head over to your house. Enjoy the change of our seasons!
