1) ReUse:To save money on remodeling and to help keep the project environmentally friendly, consider using used building materials and fixtures. Have Mr. Cheapee Inc. see if any of your old materials can be reused. Possibly they can be refinished or put to a new use. Many types of things can be found on Craigslist like wood flooring from an old demolished building. You could find used or leftover stock lighting fixtures at salvage stores.
2) Keep New Material Purchase Modest: IKEA is a great resource for kitchen cabinets at low prices. In the bathroom, consider using a classic white subway tile. Use paint to make a statement on the walls. It’s cheap and can make a large area more interesting.
3) Use Mr. Cheapee Inc. to Take Care of Your Demolition: By using Mr. Cheapee Inc. or renting a dumpster form Mr. Cheapee Inc. and doing it yourself, you can save a lot on contractor costs.
Using these three ideas together, you can afford to have that new look you’ve been wanting!
