Home Improvement Season is Here!

If you're like many of us, the approaching spring season is a time to refresh and renew your home and yard in new ways. The warmer weather and fresh air give us a great burst of energy and creativity -- the perfect combination to tackle some "projects" around the house! Not to mention, this final season of Fixer Upper has had inspiration like crazy for all of us who want to spruce up our nests.



Since we all have different tastes, budgets, varied home styles, and a range of DIY skills, today we just want to share a few of our favorite go-to sites when we want home inspiration and project ideas. There are so many options and ideas we can implement in our homes, and we are fortunate to have stores throughout the Tri-State that supply us with materials and accessories of all kinds when we're ready to get started.

These resources are meant to feed your creativity and help you achieve what you want in your home. Do not get overwhelmed or feel like you have to do everything at once. No matter the price point or scope of your dream project, home improvements are always a process! Give yourself plenty of time to really think about what you want and how you want create it.



So, without further delay, here are a few of the home sites we are frequenting this spring:

This Old House -- DIY information, how-to guides, budget-friendly projects, inspiration for many home styles. Very practical for homeowners and investors interested in tackling some exciting renovations and updates.

Real Simple -- Organizing & decluttering tips, decorating ideas, kid-friendly projects, landscaping advice, seasonal changes. Find great inspiration and shopping ideas. Realistic whiles till inspiring us to create an efficient, beautiful space for our busy lifestyles.



My Home Ideas  -- House plans, storage solutions, remodeling ideas, outdoor space planning, budget-friendly updates, entertaining guides. Awesome resource! This has become a go-to for so many clients. The site even has some quizzes to help you determine your style and prioritize what you'd like to accomplish in your home.

Southern Living -- While we don't technically live in the South, there is no better guide for cultivating a warm, inviting home for you & your family. Room inspiration, recipes, garden tips, house plans, & more. Talk about house goals!



Bob Vila -- Maintenance guides, tool information, how-to guides, a lot of outdoor project information, troubleshooting for home issues. We know this site is a trusted resource, and we can rely on the information in its articles to be current, accurate, and helpful. It's a great one to peruse just to know what's out there in case you run into an issue at home that you want to fix yourself.

Porch -- Information and assistance with all larger-scale home improvement projects. Great resource for remodeling or building. There's almost too much information on home renovations, and it's easy to get lost in it all. This site really helps narrow down priorities while inspiring with beautiful finished projects that make all of us feel like our projects are within reach.
