subject: Save Money And Get The Home You Want [print this page] With the economy the way it is, people are searching for great deals on homes. There are a couple great ways to save money when buying a home that are great for homeowners, or soon to be homeowners to consider.
Believe it or not, the economy is actually one of the main reasons that there are currently so many Affordable homes in Mumbai. There are lots of homes in the Seattle area that are priced below the market value because they are short sales or foreclosed homes.
A frugal way to make your house look great is by making home decor yourself. Spray paint and sand paper will be your best friend in transforming wooden chairs, frames, and tables into the beautiful, custom decor of your choice.There are hundreds of different DIY projects that you can find online to make your house look like a professionally decorated house.
Custom design is a big appeal of homes. Often, however, potential buyers feel frustrated because their budget won't permit a total custom design. Not to worry. You can easily and inexpensively modify a standard log-home plan to give it a custom touch.
It's easy to look at a stock plan and regard it as already perfect. That's why it ended up being published in a plan book. The trick is to recognize a plan that has the potential to become perfect for you, then figure out exactly which changes to make. It is often easier to make the floor plans and exterior design fit all of the factors and considerations than it is to modify something that appeared perfect for someone besides you and built somewhere other than on your property. Just because it is customized to meet your requirements doesn't necessarily mean it will be more expensive.
Actually, smaller homes are more traditional than luxury homes. Making the most of storage space, display shelves, built-in cabinets, cathedral ceilings and lighting help smaller homes appear larger by making the most of the volume.
Before you begin to study actual floor plans leading to your home, try creating a plan yourself or at least make a list of what you want. Then look at log-home magazines, books and catalogs. By then you'll be ready to work with a log-home designer to make slight or major changes to a stock plan or embark on a brand-new custom design. Keep in mind, though, that virtually all stock plans originated as some previous customer's custom design.
