4 Easy Steps to Remodel Your Kitchen

Remodeling your kitchen can be a great way to improve the value of your home. Need a few quick tips to get you started? Check out my full blog where the orginal post was published. On my website, you'll find even more ways to renovate and remodel your space. Whether you're looking to rent, sell, or enjoy the space, my home secrets will save your time and money!

Here are 4 Tips to remodel your kitchen--the heart of your home.

1. Choose and paint your room

This can make a dramatic difference in the feel of your space. When dealing with small kitchens, I like to opt for a white hue, which will open up the room and make the space feel more clean.

2. Change the hardware!

After you've painted the kitchen a new shade, you can move on towards the hardware of your cabinets. This simple step can often bring new life to your defeated space. Opt for modern shapes and silver finishes.

3. Consider Applying Backsplash

After the paint and the hardware, adding a backsplash can be a great next step. If you've chosen white for your walls and cabinets, you can be more liberal in your decisions with color and pattern. My advice? Stick to classic colors that will hold its value for years, or decades, to come.

4. Stage your Space!

If you're buying or renting the home, take a few minutes to stage the kitchen accordingly. For many home buyers, the kitchen is the most important room in the house, and the space that can turn a lot of buyers away. Taking the time to embellish the room can pay off big time. A few starters? Try a vase full of flowers, a bowl of lemons, and a festive kitchen rug. You'll be amazed at the warmth emitting from the space!

What’s the best way to find your professional joy?



The most successful entrepreneurs all share one important trait. They're extremely hardworking. This hard work is the foundation of their success. While learning to work harder can be a skill learned by anybody, it’s best when attempted in scale. For example, if you’re looking to find more hours in your day, the best and easiest way to manage that is to wake up earlier in the morning. Giving yourself even an extra hour can be remarkable in terms of productivity.

How does hard work lead to joy? 

It doesn't lead to joy directly. However, it exposes you to a wide range of jobs and skills. Those who dabble in dozens of different careers or tasks find themselves actively sifting through jobs that they like or dislike. This is a fantastic way you can discover what you love to do! 

I've tried something out and I love it! 
While feeling excitement about a new project or skill is natural, it's important to note that you are in the early phases of this attraction. Give yourself a few months or years working on this. Do you still love it? 

Yes! I do! 
Great! The next best thing is to delve deeper into that skill. Do more of that work until slowly, that work will turn into more of your time. You may have to work for little money or accolades in the beginning, especially if you’re just starting out. But by honing in on a skill that you’re excited about is the best way to find success and happiness in your career. For me, it was working with my hands to flip houses. While I knew I loved to work with my hands all of my life, it took me until mid-career to place the pieces together.
