Well I’ve struggled with what advice I should give you all. I’ve been through the remodel process now and I’ve supervised at least a dozen others in the past year. I have a wealth of advice to give you so if you have any particular questions just ask. Leave a message for me on our blog.

The most consistent compliment we get on our home is how cool it is for a little house. Our house is just over 1100 sq.ft. but because of a few things we have done it feels much larger. I thought I would give you all a few tips on how to maximize your space and make your home feel much larger than it actually is.

Here you will find customer photos of installed kitchen backsplashes and tile murals. Hopefully this will give you some ideas for your own kitchen backsplash.

Well, the online world anyway.

So many people write to us and tell us how great they think our site is. I can’t help thinking that they must not see many good sites then, because there are SO MANY MORE great home remodeling and design websites out there, it’s amazing to think that we even rank among them.

Who I Nominated

The “how-to” videos here at RemodelingMySpace.com are a fantastic way to learn a new skill to help in your renovation adventure or to brush up on one that you already have a little knowledge about, but still aren’t quite sure. These videos range from changing a light switch to a dimmer, to installing dry wall.

Just the other day here at Project Kraemer Lane, we had a plumbing question while working on a bathroom project that was answered through these how-to videos, and we’re happy to report that we’re one step closer to finishing!

Another excellent resource for do-it-yourselfers are the seminars that the large home improvement stores like Lowe’s and The Home Depot offer. They can range from beginner to intermediate and they cover a wide variety of topics including:

• Plumbing 101
• Painting Techniques
• Laying Tile
• Installing an Electrical Outlet
• Gardening
• Hanging a Ceiling Fan

And, if there’s a topic you’re interested in and would like it to addressed in future, speak with the store’s manager and ask for it to be considered. The best part? The sessions are FREE! So no more excuses–get to work!

Kitchen cabinet refacing projects are fun and can save you lots of money over replacing your existing cabinets. With the sweep of a few tools and brushes you can convert your old, tired kitchen cabinets into modern ones. For your project, you should consider fresh paint, new doors, hinges, pulls, and unique knobs for your wood kitchen cabinets. Plus, you’ll add to the value of your home.
