MAKE AN INVESTMENT TOWARDS ‘THE HEART OF YOUR HOME’

A WISE CHOICE TO UPDATE A PRICE TO FIT YOUR BUDGET

Updating your kitchen cabinets doesn’t have to empty your wallet. You can simply replace your decorative cabinet hardware for as little as $100 for a small kitchen. You could also just replace the cabinet doors, or opt for a complete kitchen remodel, depending upon your budget.

80 - 110%return on investment byupdating your kitchen, if you do it the right way.

Whether you are a creative professional or entrepreneur, your office needs to be organized, but also inspiring. Here are 4 extras to consider to create an inspiring office design.

Wallpaper - By using wallpaper for an accent wall behind your desk you bring the focal point of the room to where most of your work is done.

Organizational décor - Gone are the days of plain office supplies. Add your own flair to your office by incorporating items that are both stylish and have a purpose. Bookends, letter holders, corkboards, and pencil holders are an easy way to mix in your own personal touches into your office.

Plants and Herbs - Brighten up your room by hanging DIY planters over your workspace to brighten up the room. Herbs in the window-sill not only look pretty but produce a wonderful aroma. Looking for a more stylish option? Terrariums are for you. Your Own Work - What better way to get inspired than to be able to look at your past accomplishments! It’s as simple as framing a manuscript, design, or photo of work you are proud of. Don’t forget to display “thank you” notes that you’ve received!

Upcycle Broken Cups And MugsJust because a cup or mug is broken doesn’t mean you have to throw it away. With these upcycling ideas, you will be able to enjoy your favorite mug or tea cup even after it isn’t able to hold liquid any longer.

Homemade bird feeders are a fun way to use a cracked tea cup. Simply mount the cup on a plate and stand, fill with bird seed and place outside.

Enjoy your chipped tea cup longer by turning it into a plant holder and make your own mini garden. Plants like succulents or herbs work well in small pots.

For those mugs and cups that shattered into pieces, carefully collect them to create a unique garden stone. Over the Big Moon gives useful tips on ar-ranging the broken cups and mugs to make your one-of-a-kind garden stone.

3 Ways To Add Color To Your Kitchen

Color isn’t just for an accent wall and backsplash! Create a bold, unique kitchen by taking your color scheme off the wall.

Make a statement with custom cabinetry in your favorite color or color matched to a photo or picture. Not sure which color to go with? Soft grey, light yellow and turquoise are a few trending colors that will liven up the room.

Add a dash of color into your kitchen by choosing a kitchen sink that goes with the color scheme of your space.

If you aren’t looking to replace a permanent part of the kitchen, appliances are another way of freshening up your kitchen with color. From colorful baking canisters to coffee makers, these little bits of color are a fun way to make your kitchen pop!
