Tip of the Day



Quick Fix Remodeling?

Want to remodel your kitchen or bath, but your budget says "no way, not today"? Consider simple facelifts as remodeling quick fixes. Here are a few ideas that aren't budget-busters. For the kitchen, new cabinet and drawer hardware costs far less than painting and makes a big difference in the appearance. If your budget permits, a new faucet spiffs up a kitchen too. In the bath, if your porcelain sink and tub show wear and tear with chips, pits and staining, resurfacing is a lot cheaper than replacement. Full-tub acrylic liners also are available that provide a new-tub look without replacement. In other rooms, just add a decorative border near the ceiling or midwall for cheap restyling. Today there are many inexpensive solutions that offer new looks without major remodeling. Make a trip down to your local hardware store and check out what's new lookwise. And that's the On The House tip for today.
