Saving On A Home Remodel

In life, there are a ton of ways you can save money — and everyone likes doing that, right? Of course they do! When it comes to bigger projects, especially if it deals with your home, there are a ton of different ways that you can cut costs. A home remodel is one of those processes that while known to be expensive, don’t actually have to be. We’ve got a few tips as to how you can perform one of these on somewhat of a budget, cutting back on expenses!

Thrift Items

No matter what room you’re remodeling, there’s always an option to use something that came from a secondhand store for your job. Whether it’s a piece of glass for a custom window or an old bathtub for that retro feel, there’s always something a bit less expensive that can help you cut costs.

Reclaimed Wood

Depending on the theme you’re shooting for, reclaimed wood is also a great option for those looking to keep a rustic feel in their home without sacrificing the look or cost. This wood looks old and can be finished to still retain a classic look, as well as a nice touch to any ideas or themes you want to carry with

Managing The Waste

It’s easy to say that it doesn’t matter where the trash and waste ends up, but that’s simply not the case! Make sure that when you’re in the process of this home remodel, you’re finding out where you can put everything safely and have it taken away. A qualified waste management service is likely your best bet.

3 Things You Shouldn't Throw Right Away

When something’s empty or finished, it’s common to open your trash and toss it away, right? And while this might seem like the best option, sometimes, it’s not the best for your home, the waste company, or the environment. Among all of the things that we believe are safe to be thrown out, there are a few that shouldn’t be tossed in with the normal allocation of trash — o what are they? Below, we’ve got a few things you should be mindful of before placing them in the garbage.

Old Hoses

Outside in the garden, hoses can sometimes end up puncturing and become unusable. What isn’t known is that those materials have to be good for something, right? Of course they do! What you can do is wind the hose into the necessary shape you’d prefer, and affix it together with zipties! When it’s done, slide it over to the area you want to use it in and let it hang out! As an added bonus, you can spray paint it a new color for added flair.

Glass Containers

When you finish with glass containers, throwing them out is the last thing you should do! Because many of these come with tops and sealing units already, the amount of things that they can be transformed into is almost endless. Pen holders, candleholders and decorative pieces are just a few!

Cereal Boxes

If you’re the type to keep magazines in the house, a cereal box is one of the most creative things you can use to make a holder for them! With some glue-on fabric and a pair of scissors, you can cut the box into a holder for up to 10 magazines, and sit them next to one another on a shelf. This is a great way to stay organized!

Of course, not everything can make it’s way into the trash, but for these special items, you can increase your waste management much better and save a bit on your decorating efforts!
