As a mom of 3 young girls, I tend to be extra conscious of the items I choose to fill my home, to make it feel lived in and not sterile (especially so the littles don't break precious heirlooms). Having lived in 3 different apartments in the first 3 years of our marriage, my husband and I bought our first home 4 years ago. On a budget, we've been fixing it up over the years to add our own touches here and there, as much as possible. In my free time, I love to find little DIY projects to add my personal touch to old furniture.

Kitchen cabinets should make a splash in every home. Given that kitchen remodeling takes priority over almost any other renovation project, it can be argued that kitchen cabinets are perhaps the most recognizable features of your home.
Flooring & Tiles
One of the most popular and attractive flooring options in the home is hardwood. Unlike some of its competitors, such as carpet or laminate, there are a plethora of hardwood flooring types to choose from, ranging from pine and oak to maple and cherry. Needless to say, each type offers a unique set of characteristics that separates itself from the heard.

Soaker tubs are part of the dream home and owning a small bathroom doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the aroma, sensation and relaxation of a good soaker tub.
