timing can save you some extra cash. Take a good look at your house; make a
list on which corner of the house needs improvement and which corner needs
complete makeover. Take kitchen for instance, if you kitchen is old fashion and
you looking to give it a completely new look you can go for custom kitchen cabinet option instead of buying branded cabinet. It will save you a lot of
money and give completely new look to your kitchen. Likewise, you could choose

increase the efficiency of the house, not the size. Custom cabinet finishes
utilize the dead space of the kitchen and makes it efficient. It can be
modified as per the size of your kitchen and make use of every little space of
the house. Instead of windows in the hallway and bathroom, you could install
‘light tube’, it is installed between the roof rafters and filter morning
sunshine in your hallway. It cost less than framing a window in your wall and
it gives unique look to the house.
While renovating house you will stumble upon few old things
which you may not require for your new house. Do not throw it away; instead try
to donate it to people who can reuse these material. This way you can get rid
of your old stuff and other people can use it for their purposes, which makes
it a win-win situation.
