As a parent, you know that planning and preparing for the arrival of a tiny human being can be both exciting and overwhelming at the same time. One of the most crucial aspects of getting ready for the baby’s debut is creating a beautiful and functional nursery. Whether you’re starting from scratch or giving an existing space a new lease of life, a nursery remodel is an excellent opportunity to flex your creative muscles and make your baby’s first home a warm, welcoming, and memorable space.
So, what are some of the things you should consider when planning a nursery remodel? First and foremost, you need to establish a theme or color scheme that will tie everything together. While the traditional hues of pink or blue are still popular choices for baby rooms, today’s parents are branching out and incorporating a more diverse color palette. Pastel shades of lavender, mint, and peach lend a tranquil and soothing atmosphere, while bold, vibrant colors like yellow, green, and red bring energy and excitement to the room.
Once you’ve settled on a theme or color scheme, it’s time to take a look at the furniture and decor. While it’s essential to have functional items like a crib, changing table, and dresser, you can still have fun with the selection process. Consider sleek, modern designs or more traditional, ornate pieces depending on the overall theme you’re going for. If space is at a premium, you can also consider using multi-functional furniture, such as a crib that converts into a toddler bed or a dresser with a built-in changing pad.
As for decorations, the sky’s the limit! From wall art to throw pillows, mobiles to curtains, there’s no shortage of creative ways to personalize the nursery. You can incorporate your favorite childhood books or toys, or choose whimsical designs that add a playful touch. And don’t forget the lighting – whether you opt for soft, twinkling fairy lights or a bold statement lamp, the right lighting can really set the mood in the room.
Of course, creating a nursery that’s both beautiful and functional is essential for both you and your baby. From a practical standpoint, make sure you’re choosing materials and fabrics that are easy to clean and maintain. You’ll also want to ensure that the room has adequate storage space for everything from diapers and wipes to toys and clothes.
In the end, the key to a successful nursery remodel is to have fun and let your creativity run wild. After all, this is your chance to create a space that’s uniquely yours and reflects your style and personality. By following these tips and being open to new ideas, you’ll be well on your way to creating a nursery that your baby – and you – will love. Happy decorating!

The past 3 months have been difficult, but we’ve made it through. You have probably learned and accomplished things you never expected you had to do: learn common core math, become a zoom pro, give haircuts to the whole family. While we were doing all this, we have been cooped up at home, looking at the things we wished we had already changed in our home before it all began. A finished study room for the kids would have been nice!
With all these accomplishments, you might be thinking about trying your hand at some DIY home improvements. You may have watched and re-watched a video on “how to paint your kitchen cabinets or replace a sink in the bathroom”. So, you think you should at least try, how hard can it be, right?
We hope before you go too far, you give us a call. Your bad DIY haircut will grow back, but a broken pipe won’t fix itself. Home improvement projects that look small enough to do it yourself often have hidden challenges that you don’t always anticipate. You pull out that kitchen tile and find out the sub floor is uneven, you get he bathroom sink halfway out but can’t loosen that last hose connection to finish removing it, so the faucet is left there dangling. One of the main reasons for “DIY” regret is that the project took longer than expected. Also, many projects are physically or technically harder than homeowners thought they would be.
You don’t need to spend your valuable time researching ho to do a project, then spending money on tools and supplies you will need for it, only to find out you can not finish the project. Yo really don’t have to spend your weekends refinishing hardwood floors, right? What ever project you are planing, we have probably done it many times before with beautiful results.
We can save you money by doing your hoe improvemnet project right the first time.
Getting started with a kitchen remodel is not always easy. There are so many things to think about and questions to answer such as how to save counter space if you already have a small kitchen and can’t or don’t want to expand the kitchen? Where should appliances be placed? What light fixtures work best for my space? Designing a kitchen should not be another stress factor in an already busy life. In order to get the design for the kitchen just right, visuals can be a great way to get cabinet layout, lighting and countertops all work together to create the prefect space.
Visualizing a kitchen or any other space before starting the actual remodel can help you save money, time and space. In a small kitchen for example, custom cabinets to house a microwave can save counter space and help make a kitchen look decluttered and open. Creating a custom cabinet around a refrigerator can make a kitchen look finished and well thought out.
