Summer Makeovers

Does your home need a summer job?

First of all, you can’t enjoy any room unless you can see it, so  clear off those counters and toss away any clutter – this barely costs a dime!

Next, fresh paint is your easiest path to a dramatic change.  Try out a bold new direction, like a darker tone you might not ordinarily consider.  If it doesn’t work, try something else – that’s the best thing about paint!

You can bring a colorful new look to your furniture just by reupholstering your pillows.  Adding a punch of new colors to these pieces will bring renewed attention to the entire room.

Dimmer switches are an accessible luxury that afford huge benefits – flat, monotonous rooms suddenly become infinitely more layered, flattering, and sophisticated.

Is your art propped up against the walls or stashed in storage?  Devote a day to framing and hanging it.  Once you get into the rhythm, this is a lot more fun than you think.  And the pulled-together results are enormously rewarding.
