Weekend Warriors: Top 5 Home Improvement Projects |
If you’re like most of us you love to watch those home
improvement shows on TV, they make it look so easy to change
the appearance of your home by doing some simple home
improvements. And if you’re like most of us and have to
work Monday thru Friday any home improvement projects have
to be done on the weekend. So for all you weekend warriors
here are my top 5 weekend projects:
Bathroom or Kitchen facelift- I’m not talking about a major
remodel here just a simple facelift can totally change the
look of a kitchen or bathroom. Refinishing the kitchen
cabinets, new paint and wallpaper, replacing a toilet, or
maybe even replacing that old bathroom or kitchen facet can
greatly improve and update the look of any home.
Install new lighting- Installing new lighting can not only
brighten your home but give a room a totally different look.
Whether installing a light kit on a ceiling fan or
replacing that old outdated fluorescent light in the kitchen
with some of the new kitchen lighting on the market,
installing new lighting is a weekend project that’s
relatively easy and comes with a big return.
Install tile- whether a kitchen floor or backsplash or new
tile in the bathroom, installing ceramic tile is easier than
you think and is a great weekend project for weekend
warriors. Most home improvement stores have everything you
need for professional looking results, one tip: Be sure to
rent a tile saw, it will save you a lot of time and is well
worth the cost.
Changing the color of a room- Color is in! You will be
surprised how a splash of color can totally change the look
of any room. Many homes have either white or off-white
walls but many homeowners have found adding color to a room
can brighten and warm up a room and is a great weekend home
improvement project for anyone. As with any painting
project the time you spend in preparing before actually
painting will speak volumes as to the results.
Staining Garage Floor or Patio- This is a great project for
weekend warriors. Perhaps you have a garage with oil spots,
old paint, and other unidentifiable stains on the floor.
Staining your garage floor can bring new life to any garage
and look great! Some of the new epoxy products on the
market offer numerous color choices and colored flakes that
you won’t find in most home improvement superstores and will
give your garage a unique and customized look.
Being a weekend warrior when it comes to home improvement
projects can be fun and rewarding. Be sure to do your
research about the best products and techniques before
starting any home improvement project, but don’t be scared
to try something you have never done before. There is an
abundance of information and how-to books on just about any
project you decide to tackle, so go ahead and conquer that
weekend project.
