As you may know, March Break is just around the corner. If you do know this, chances are you have kids, and if you have kids, chances are you may be taking a few days off to be home with them. A few days off from work is the perfect chance to start- and finish- a quick home renovation!
Renovations can often feel like a daunting chore. If you’re not in the market for a full-on home reno, but want to make your home look and feel like a more modern version of its old self, a weekend or a few days can be the perfect time frame for a quick spruce-up of any room.
Changing the floor of a room can make a phenomenal difference on how you look at a room (and even how much time you spend in it). IHL has knee pads, gloves, nail pullers, tape measures, and whatever else you may need for pulling up that old carpet, or lifting that scuffed and worn floor. Out with the old and in with the new!
Are you thinking about updating the laundry room or back porch, but working on a budget? Have a look on Craigslist for secondhand cabinetry. Make them your own by sanding them down, painting, and adding new hardware.
Get rid of brown and brittle, mildew-y caulk in your bathroom or kitchen in a flash. You’ve heard that talk is cheap, and luckily, so is caulk (okay, okay, I didn't make that up, but it's funny, right?). Recaulking your kitchen or bathroom takes only a few hours, and will instantly brighten the room, even on a shoestring budget.
Don’t just focus on the inside of the home this March Break. Spring will be here before we know it, so why not take advantage of our mild winter, and clean up the yard? This Garant rake will do the trick, as will this Erie wheelbarrow. These items will surely come in handy in the warm, landscaping months ahead!
Eager to get started, but unsure about how to use a certain tool, or what you may need to get the job done? Come into our store and chat with one of our helpful and knowledgeable staff: we’re here to help!
Even if you’re not taking any time off work next week, you still have the weekend: so get a head start on spring and start those home renos and spring cleaning! Search the web for ideas on how to make a quick DIY renovation work for you and your home. Sites like thisoldhouse.com can offer plenty of tips and tricks for your one or two day renos, and, as always, all of us at IHL are here to help you get the job done!
Happy renos everyone!
