    I’m going to go one step further and say HEATED flooring. It’s an absolute game changer; especially in your bedroom and bathroom.

    When I had some light fixtures replaced in my house, I had the electrician replace the bathroom fan switches with switches that have timers. The switches were about $15 each at lowes.
    And I also had the electrician replace some outlets with ones that have USB ports. They are so handy for charging things!!

    • @lsamoa
      @lsamoa 3 года назад

      Oh I'm so envious of you! My bathroom fan is remotely controlled by the building management so I have zero control over when it turns on or off. Such a paint to have to schedule my life around it

  • @33Jenesis
    @33Jenesis 3 года назад +4

    I designed my kitchen and baths. I handpicked all material used inside my home, down to the tiniest detail. I was consumed with my interior remodel for months. The result was worth all the sleepless nights because almost nothing was overlooked. The only item I let my contractor decide was closet shelving. After I moved in, as soon as weight was added, they collapsed. My contractor blamed me for having too much clothing even though I repeatedly told him that I have a lot of clothing items. Hindsight I should have paid attention to closet installation myself. Now I use metal clothing racks; some with casters, some not. So far they hold up well and much cheaper to diy, don’t need a handyman or risk having the replacement rod shelves ripped out of the walls later.

    Hi Arvin, again, I agree with your take on lighting. I just told my husband a few days ago that I can’t take all of these bright retina-burning lights in my eyes and that I wish we had some type of dimmers.

    Floors & lighting are the most impactful to me, if done right, a rich, high quality paint like BM will tie it altogether. That’s where I put my coins. The rest can be slowly found and bought without breaking the bank. Great video Arvin!

    ❤For wallpaper, I would suggest stick and peel before you commit. Ots a fun way to change up a room, or wall. You may not want wallpaper and can change up stick and peel often as you want. Even renters can do it without damage to wall. Check out Amazon, lowes, home depot😁

  • @ladysparkymartin
    @ladysparkymartin 3 года назад +2

    Thank you, good advice! And yes! If you can project, do your floors before you move in! I think it’s called Berber carpet. Was a huge selling point when I bought 19 years ago. I didn’t really care either way then but now after pets and life, the idea and cost and logistics of replacing these condo floors (soundproofing required) is daunting! But long term underemployed owners like me may just have to live with what they’ve bought. I don’t have a solution. Pleh. But yes, good advice on floors 👍

    Totally agree! I've done most of these upgrades myself in this home or previous ones and they do make a world of a difference (except I don't like apps so I just use a simple plus-minus remote control for my lights - it's so nice to control them all at the same time!). What I really need to do though is upgrade my bedlinen to well, linen. I just can't make up my mind about what colour to pick so I've been putting it off, but this is the push that I needed!
