Not only will renovations provide pleasure and function to you, but they could increase the sale value of your home a bit. Garage or estate sales. Removal of old carpet and pad. Sooner or later you will want or need to remodel your bathroom or your kitchen or perhaps finish off that basement. Plan ahead. Thrift shops.

Have you ever shopped at neighborhood garage sales? The carpet eventually wears out and the walls get dirty and sometimes pitted from things we hang. I’ve used these finds to help furnish and decorate a vacation rental and to fill in pieces we lacked at home. Why do we get the urge to decorate?

Buy a dated, smooth-gliding rocker at a garage sale for next to nothing and customize it with several yards of fabric and a staple gun. Foam, Not Carpet. Reupholster Second-Hand Furniture. The woodwork doesn’t need to match exactly, instead choose pieces based on price and function.

Step platform with 2 steps – purchased at a garage sale for $2. I really can’t do yoga on my carpets without sliding out of control! 3 sets of hand weights – a velcro strap on set of 1 pounders; a set of 8 pounders and a set of 10 pounders – purchased new about 20 years ago – sorry I don’t remember what I spent.
