Your Dream Home

There are some people who love the look of colonial houses while there are some who prefer a more modern, futuristic look

. Some people like the aged look of a historic home or homes that have a ton of greenery growing along the sides of the house while others prefer very simple landscaping that gives off a clean-cut feel. Whatever you want your home to look like, chances are that you can achieve it no matter what sort of a budget you are on. It is simply a matter of being creative.

When I lived in a townhouse with one of my former roommates, I was given permission to take charge of the garden front of the home. I had a blast experimenting with different trees and shrubbery from Home Depot and Lowes hardware stores. At one point, I planted Azalia bushes as well as several rose bushes in the little plot of land in the front of the house; and it actually came out looking really nice. Several of the neighbors would often stop by to look at the different flowers growing.

When it comes to the interior of your home, this is a different story. There are some people who aren't necessarily content with how the inside of their house looks; but at the same time, they are too afraid to make any changes because they are afraid of all of the work that it would have entailed just to have it turn out looking horrible. This is where it pays to play around with color swatches. For example, if you are thinking of redecorating your living room, Ikea has work stations set up with software that allows you to play around with different aspects of your living space to figure out what would look best where. You can even do this yourself from the comfort of your own home if you are creative enough. Similarly, when my mother was thinking about re-doing our kitchen, she went to a kitchen store and the store sent out one of its representatives for free to take measurements of our kitchen as well as pictures. Then, back at the store, my mom was able to view a 3-D model of our kitchen as well as what it would look like after the renovations were made. Having this visual aide was certainly a great help in determining what needed to happen from that point out. Isn't technology amazing?

Even if you are on a budget and cannot really afford renovations such as the ones mentioned above, less expensive alternatives include buying a couple of buckets of paint and inviting some friends over to help out. Remember, sometimes the key to discovering your dream home is to work with what you have and let your creativity shine.
