Even with the housing market in the doldrums there is no reason not to enjoy your home and relatively minor adjustments can mean a lot.
With the Spring on its way it might be time to make some plans for a bit of revitalising of your home. An increasing number of people are making the most of the current low interest rates to borrow money to make home improvements, and see the spending as an investment in themselves as well as for the future.
Making the smallest room in the house work for you can still makes sense. Revamping existing bathrooms with a bit of new plumbing; a new shower or updating your boiler and central heating system can really make things feel more cosy as well as being more efficient and practical. Don’t leave it till the middle of next winter and wish you’d sorted it out in the spring.
Going a step further and putting a new bathroom in the right place can not only give you extra space to relax but in the long run many believe it will still add value to your home. It might be good to consider a second bathroom if your home only has one to start with but remember it’s good to have the number of bathrooms in proportion to the number of bedrooms and floors in your home. Why not spring clean with some bathroom remodeling strategies to add value to your home without breaking the bank.

School budget cuts don't necessarily mean building cuts...
Good news for some schools as RE-DEVELOPMENT PLANS are UNVEILED FOR THREE MORE FENLAND SCHOOLS. Plans for the re-development of three more schools in Fenland will be on display at community consultation events in Wisbech, Chatteris and Whittlesey next month. Meadowgate School in Wisbech, Cromwell Community College in Chatteris and Sir Harry Smith Community College in Whittlesey will each be hosting exhibitions to show off the designs for their new schools. A total of £28 million is being invested to provide additional accommodation and much improved facilities in each of the three schools. Alan Kippax, BSF Project Director at Cambridgeshire County Council said: “I hope people will come along to the exhibitions to see for themselves the exciting future which awaits the next generation of secondary school students in these areas, writes Simon Cobby on 25th Feb 2011
Not every community will fare so well but even with the collapse of the BSF and the reality that even those that have the go ahead may have to face 40% reductions in their budgets there is still plenty that can be achieved.
Many schools might find that they only have budgets for condition work but again that doesn’t mean good work can’t be done. Lots can be achieved with good design, replacement and redecoration. Education Design can still deliver real change to the physical environment of a school just because it’s called condition work doesn’t mean it can’t improve the school environment.
What’s most important is making the building you have work for your school and your community and that any money is well spent to have the most impact.
