The Holidays are Quickly Approaching Complete At least One of These 5 Remodeling Projects Now!

There are not too many days left before the busiest part of the holiday season will be upon us, but there is still plenty of time to spruce up your house for company. You may be running out of time for a complete overhaul, but there are multiple smaller things that you can do before you start putting up those decorations.


Here are 5 remodeling projects that you should consider completing as the holidays quickly approach:


1. Refinish Your Kitchen Cabinets

If your kitchen cabinets are looking a little under the weather and need a facelift, you can simply refinish them instead of completely replacing them. Add a coat of stain or paint, hang them back up, and add some new hardware to complete the amazing new look.


2. Install New Backsplash

A new backsplash can add visual appeal to any kitchen, so if you do not have any or it is looking outdated, now is the time to change things up a little. There are numerous styles of tiles and materials to choose from for backsplash, so pick one that matches the style of your kitchen and get creative with the results.


3. Add a Buffet Bench

Adding a buffet bench will allow you to serve foods easily, without having everyone crowded around the table and the counters near your stove. There is an added bonus to incorporating this piece into your kitchen too. You will find that you have plenty of new storage options the rest of the year!


4. Add a New Carpet to Your Stairs

The carpeting on stairs can get destroyed easily, which shouldn’t be too surprising since your family is continuously walking, or running, sliding, up and down them all day long! We recommend that you remove the carpeting that is on your stairs and replace it with a new runner. You will love the new look and the fact that it won’t take too long to do.


5. Replace the Hardware in Your Guest Bathroom

Your guest bathroom will get a lot of use this holiday season, which is why you will want it to look as nice as possible. One of the easiest ways to make this room look fresh and new is by replacing the hardware. This includes the knobs and pulls, as well as towel rods and hooks. You may even want to take this project a step further by replacing the faucet in the sink. You’ll be amazed at how wonderful this space looks when you are finished.


These five projects will not take a lot of time, which means that you can choose to do one of them or all of them. Whatever you choose, you will have a head start on all your remodeling projects in the new year!

Home Remodel Without Being Broke — Gaithersburg, MD — D & M Enterprises
By D & M Enterprises 19 Jul, 2019
Sometimes we put off bathroom remodeling because we want to wait until we have enough money to do something really special. It is easy to feel tempted to spend big on your bathroom upgrade. New products are revealed frequently, and bathroom trends occasionally change. Neither of these factors have to influence your plans, as many low cost ideas can lead to big results. Refinish the bathtub. While an old bathtub can be unsightly, it doesn’t necessarily have to be replaced. Refinishing is a far cheaper option and it can make the bathroom look like new. Removal and installation are other costs you have to face if you decide to replace the tub. Get a new faucet. A new, shiny faucet will instantly show that you have done some work in the bathroom, even with few other improvements. A new faucet can also add a modern or retro touch, depending on your preference. Choose a new paint color. A different color can give the space a big lift, making it seem like you spent more on the remodel. Browns, blues, greens and grays can help to create a relaxing atmosphere. Freshen up grout and caulk. Dingy grout and caulk can give the bathroom a similarly dingy appearance. Fresh, clean caulk will help to brighten up fixtures. Clean the grout to give new life to tiles. Repurpose when you can. An old cabinet can become a new bathroom vanity once it’s refinished. If you want wood floors, you can use reclaimed wood from an old building, making your bathroom remodel greener. Update the lighting. New light fixtures can quickly revitalize the look of any room. Consider adding sconces on either side of the mirror, or add a lighted mirror. Choose a pre-fabricated shower. A shower that comes ready to be installed will cost much less than tiling the shower area. While tiles give you design range, an attractive pre-fabricated shower can still make a statement.  If you are remodeling the bathroom on a budget, try to focus mostly on DIY tasks. Anything you can do on you own will lower your expenses. However, keep in mind that there will be tasks you cannot handle, although they may not always be considered major changes. Putting in a new toilet for example, may require a professional, but this is still affordable for most homeowners.
Custom Kitchen Ideas — Gaithersburg, MD — D & M Enterprises

Decorating the kitchen can be an enjoying task since you have so many attractive elements to work with. These numerous elements can be a lot to handle if you are trying to get the perfect custom kitchen, but here are some ideas that will help. Embrace patterns. People often try to keep their tiles basic to avoid over designing, but there is no reason why can’t have some fun with attractive and tasteful patterns. Use tiles transitionally. If you are struggling to find ways to move between different elements and tones, use your tiles to create an attractive transition between these areas. This will help to simply your selection process. Try open shelving. If you worry that the kitchen feels crowded, open shelving might be the answer. It helps to open up the space and give it an airy feel. This is one way to make a small kitchen feel larger. Splurge on lighting. Even the most expensive lighting fixtures will not take up much of your kitchen budget. Look around for the most attractive options that add style and luxury to the kitchen. Use layered lighting to improve the look and to make the space functional. Try a darker palette. In the past, designers and homeowners alike shied away from using dark tones in the kitchen. Now it is one of the hottest trends, so don’t be afraid to go for deeper blues and grays. Even black can work in the kitchen to dramatic effect. Add a kitchen island. Some people are skipping the island in favor of open layouts, but this feature still has plenty to offer. For one thing, it can anchor the design of the space. More importantly, it can serve different purposes such as storage, a dining area and a meal prep area. Kitchen islands can also have racks attached for cookbooks and spices. Warm it with wood. Wood can work in any part of the kitchen, whether it’s the floor, countertop, or as a backsplash. The natural grain of this material comes in different shades, so you can find something for any color scheme. Over time, as it darkens, it adds even more character to the kitchen. To get an attractive custom kitchen, strive for a balance between the items you should splurge on, and the areas where you can save. Pricier features can last longer, but make sure that they are in keeping with current trends so you do not have to make changes too quickly.
