Remodeling stories that keep you up at night, plus more tips for your home

BATHROOM 110217

The calendar says Halloween is over, but if you are like us there is enough leftover candy to snack on for quite a while.

In keeping with Halloween for a bit longer, we stumbled across an article about scary remodeling stories, but they aren’t tales about botched jobs. No, these stories will chill you in other ways.

Think along the lines of sketchy characters showing up at job sites, or our favorite, a sweet old lady whose “clothesline” contained a shocking secret.

If you are ready to move on from Halloween, that’s OK too. We also came across some tips about more projects that boost the value of your home.

Like the little black dress, a stylish and functional kitchen never goes out of style. So, adding a kitchen remodel to your list of winter goals is a good idea, like the article suggests.

Another project the article says is worth pursuing is new flooring. Whether it’s hardwood or tile, new flooring offers style that is built to last.

Thinking long-term is also important when remodeling your home. As we’ve mentioned before, universal design allows homeowners to age in place comfortably without sacrificing style.

Some of the projects outlined in a universal design article we liked were wider doorways, higher countertops, raised electrical outlets, curbless showers with bench seating, and slip-resistant flooring in bathrooms.

No matter what route you take, be sure to enlist the help of an experienced designer. *cough, cough*

Have a great week!
