“As you grow older, you’ll find the only things you regret are the things you didn’t do.” Zachary Scott
Here comes the New Year and there is no time like right now to rethink, refresh and redesign your home!
These days, like many people, you are probably staying in more often. It may mean you’ve had a chance to notice that dingy paint in the kitchen or made more aware of that door that won’t close right. Back when the economy was booming you might have thought to sell your home, but now it is likely your going to stay put. Why not feel great about that?
Small changes in your home now mean that you’ll be able to enjoy your home more (you won’t believe what a fresh coat of paint can do) and also means you’ll be in a great position to sell your home if and when the time comes. All those little, nagging projects can get front seat priority now. And with the job market so tight, you can have your pick of great contractors and possibly even get great deals on materials.
"We're in an era where, rather than stretching for a trophy home, we can think about ways to modify the houses we're already in to make ourselves happy," says Daniel McGinn, author of House Lust, a book about how America became obsessed with McMansions, vacation houses, and "investing" in real estate during the boom.
