Can you make it through this article without calling a contractor?



Remodeling Ideas

1. Lower your living room to create a conversation pit.

The bi-level living room creates a cozy effect and makes the room appear more spacious.

2. Turn an attic nook into a nap time pillow room.

3. Display your books under the stairs.

5. Or use that space for a book nook.


A place to curl up for reading.

6. Dogs are people too. Here is a great little haven underneath the stairs for pets.

7. Install two dishwashers instead of one.

You can load one dishwasher while the other is running. KitchenAid also makes a double drawer dishwasher.

8. If you’re doing a huge remodel, consider adding a treehouse or guesthouse while the contractor is there.

A new tree house might cost less than you think.

9. Turn your boring garden shed into a charming artist’s shed.

With big windows to maximize natural lighting.

10. Install a built in pest control system.

Pest tube injection
Pest-tube installation makes pest control more efficient. All the exterminator has to do is inject some stuff into one end to keep insects and rodents away.

11. Take advantage of space with baseboard drawers.

Maximize your space with baseboard drawers.
You can never have too much storage space in the kitchen.

12. Install a hidden room.

Sometimes it’s as simple as adding a bookcase to a door.

13. Make your walls magnetic.

Magnetic wall panels
Magnektik makes large magnetic wall panels that are strong enough to hang just about anything, including shelves and TVs.

14. An S-shaped seat turns your shower or steam room into one you can recline in.

15. Have an extra-tall ceiling? String a ceiling hammock across it.

Ingenious hammock placement.

16. A walk-in shower means no glass to clean. Walk in and out without having to touch a door.







And they even fit into small bathrooms.

17. Install waste chutes in your kitchen for trash and recycling.
