Not That.....we aren't putting cones on top of a house, but Madonna has had an amazing ability to reinvent herself over the years. She changes her style, her look, her hair. Your home can be done the same way just by stepping back and allowing your current needs to be implemented. So many families start in a house that works well but as they grow it gets cramped or their living style changes and the house stays the same.
If you have been in your home for at least five years, the chances are pretty good that you need a change somewhere....It's time to pull a Madonna!
So here are 5 steps you can take on your road to reinventing your Home:
1. TAKE 30 MINUTES-walk all over your house with an objective eye, look for patterns & write them down. Entry points into the home, are there piles of stuff in certain locations, do you get frustrated with lack of electrical outlets, storage, etc.
2. GET A HAIRCUT-not a real one, but go through your home and de-clutter what you do not need. Old papers, the fridge door (this can make it seem much cleaner), take stuff to the Goodwill, put the books away, get rid of appliances you never use, etc.
3. GATHER OUTSIDE IDEAS-grab a home magazine, open a Pinterest account if you don't already have one and look at home ideas, find a perfect paint color at the local paint store or ask your family what they would change about the house if they could.
4. SET A BUDGET-there are many things you can do on a shoestring budget to reinvent your home, like new rugs, paint a room or buy a piece of furniture that changes the look of a room. If the changes you are wanting to make seem more significant, you can do them too.
5. CALL A RE-INVENTOR-if you are wanting to make big changes like adding electrical outlets, build a deck, add on a master suite, then that is when you want someone with major expertise. What seems like a dream for you is what Remodeling professionals do everyday.
Now get out there and take action like Madge and get to changing your image!!
