WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING A FIXER UPPER Home reno shows make it look like an adventure – and it can be, but the reality of buying a fixer upper is a lot messier than it looks on TV. That being said, you can still create a beautiful home from a house that needs a lot of love. Just make sure to ask yourself these questions before buying. How much work is needed? Is it a total gut job or more of a cosmetic update? How much work needs to be done is the first question you should ask yourself. You should also ask professionals, because what you see may not even be the most important tasks at hand. Hidden issues with plumbing, electrical, insulation and so on can come with huge bills and should be tackled before any surface upgrades begin. How much is it going to cost? Once you know how much work is needed, you can come up with a budget. And while it can be tempting to keep your budget tight so you don’t overspend, a realistic budget is actually the best way to ensure the money aspect stays under control. Make sure to include extra for the unknowns. You’ll be glad it’s there when you need it. What’s your final end goal? Some people buy fixer-uppers to live in, while others buy them to flip. Either way, your end goal should play into every stage of the renovation process. If you’re renovating for you, the design and finishes you choose can reflect your needs and personal style. If you’re renovating for resale, what you select should appeal to the most buyers possible. Research what is selling in your area and use that as a guideline.

MUST-TRY HOME ORGANIZATION HACKS

Whether you’re organizing for a sale or just for your own peace of mind, the amount of home organization hacks seems nearly endless. But if you only have time for a few of the very best, give these creative tips a try. • Use shower curtain hooks to hang tank tops. Loop tank top straps through inexpensive shower curtain hooks and hang multiple tops from one hanger. This hack also works for scarves, belts and handbags. • Use bread tags to label cords. Save the plastic tags from bread bags and use a sharpie to label cords in your office space or behind your TV. Never wonder which plugin goes with which piece of tech again! • Use shoe organizers for things other than shoes. Behind the door shoe hangers work for almost anything. Use it in your kid’s closet for toys, in your broom closet for cleaning supplies, or in your bathroom closet for makeup and skincare products. • Use pallets to organize your garage. Hang a few pallets on the wall in your garage and use it to hang snow shovels, extension cords and more. Also works well in your garden shed. • Use dresser drawers for under the bed storage. A popular DIY is to remove dresser drawers and place baskets in the empty cubbies. But then what do you do with the drawers? Slide them under your bed to hideaway blankets and off-season clothing. • Repurpose a wine rack as a towel holder. Hang an old wine rack in your linen closet or above your toilet. Roll up your towels and simply slide them in.
