Are you thinking about a kitchen remodel? You’re not alone. Giving a kitchen a makeover is one of the most popular remodeling projects that homeowners undertake. It’s also a perfect way to increase the value of the home many times over. Thanks to many helpful YouTube videos and stores like Home Depot, a kitchen remodel has also become a very popular DIY type of project. Whether you’ll be hiring a contractor or doing the work for yourself you should consider some important options in your planning stage.
For your countertops you can go for a full slab or tiles of granite. Dark granite tiles with dark grout can give the same kind of look and feel of that full slab for a fraction of the cost. They are also easier to repair. Swapping out a single cracked tile as oppose to an entire cracked slab is a no brainer! For back splashes on your counters, look into vinyl or sheet metal for a sleek and modern look. This might be a better choice especially if you’re going to have stainless steel appliances. Speaking of stainless steel appliances, when you head out to the appliance store consider picking up a floor model or one that is slightly damaged. Suppose you find a beautiful stainless steel fridge with a dent on its left side. Is that the same side that will be forever hidden by your cabinets? If so, then doesn’t making a deal for a price that is several hundred dollars cheaper than the retail price sound good? This approach also holds true for washer and dryers. Will a little scratch or dent matter when it can mean some serious savings?
Another popular kitchen-remodeling tip is to update your light fixtures. Get rid of those glaring fluorescent lights and instead opt for warm track lighting. Most track lighting can be installed with a kit and dimmer that allows you to adjust the light settings depending on your mood. It can make a huge difference in the kitchen.
Then there are your cabinets to contend with. Here again you can find a simple approach to swapping out the doors and using existing hardware. If you take this approach then you’ll definitely want to set up a clean up appointment with Junk King Nashville. With their hard working crew and huge truck, Junk King will be able to remove those cabinet doors in the same day that you plan to take them down. If you’re replacing countertops, then let the JK crew remove that construction debris as well. Junk King works best when removing bulky objects that won’t fit into your trashcan. It might seem like an extra step but it is one well worth taking.
When you think of spring cleaning chances are you’ll imagine scrubbing floors on your hands and knees much like Cinderella. You’ll be thinking about how exhausting this process will be and it might not be something you be looking forward to. Actually, there is a refreshing approach to take when spring cleaning that can make this a chore not seem as dreary. One of the first things you want to do is let in the sunshine and fresh air. Thanks to the warm weather you have the chance to throw open all the windows and let a cool breeze blow into your home. That fresh air will make a lot of difference especially in a room that has been buttoned up all winter. And if you’re going to be kicking up dust storm then you want that dust to fly out and not stay in!
As with every other local state government, Tennessee is getting into the energy efficient business by setting up projects that will be sponsored by the Clean Tennessee Energy Grant program. The funding from these projects comes from the April 2011 Clean Air Act Settlement with the Tennessee Valley Authority. As part of this settlement the state will receive over $26 million to fund clean air projects.
Christmas is that wonderful time of the year when friends and family get together to share special holiday traditions. These are the kinds of traditions that have been handed down from family to family and which everybody looks forward to. It might mean a special dinner on Christmas Eve or attending midnight mass at your local church. Christmas traditions also sometimes apply to how we exchange gifts. Large families sometimes pool together to do a secret Santa gift exchange where just one family member gives one gift to another. There are also many unique Christmas traditions that are celebrated around the world that you might find extremely unique.

If you’ve got a kitchen remodel on your calendar then you’re probably also looking at replacing some of your older appliances with newer models. Here’s what you might want to think about:
There is a very simple way to bring an abundance of joy into your Nashville home: Welcome a new pet. While it is true that this requires some careful preparation and due diligence on your part, the rewards of unconditional love will be well worth the effort. For the most part, pets fall into two categories: passive or active. The passive varieties are those critters which are contained in cages, tanks or aquariums. Sure, they might seem busy in their own space but these are the kind of pets you can take out and toss the ball with. On the other hand, a cat or a dog would certainly fall into the active variety of pets.
Moving into a new home or apartment can be an exciting time for any family in the Nashville area. It can also be a day filled with anxiety and stress but it doesn’t have to be that way. The more prepared you are for your move in the smoother the operation will become. Here are some handy tips to keep in mind as you approach your moving.
We’ve all come to accept the term “professional” as referring to someone who gets paid to perform a service. In professional sports like the NBA and the NFL recruiters line up on college campuses to snatch up the best players. Once those grads sign a contact, they’ve become a professional. There was a time when members of the U.S. Olympic team couldn’t be professional. That changed years ago with the Olympic basketball team when we decided it was better to win with a “dream team” then risk losing with a bunch of amateurs!
