Thinking of UPDATING a Space in Your Home? Do These...

It doesn't take much to quickly update a room, here are some great ideas for the kitchen and bath:

• Color ~ Paint an accent wall — try a bold, bright color!
• Dedicated Workspace ~ Create a station for what you love — baking, crafts, you name it!
• Dining Banquette ~ With a banquette at the table, you'll dine in comfort.
• Bathroom Seating ~ A comfortable chair is a great piece to have in the bath. Try upholstering one in terry cloth or even putting a ceramic garden stool right in the shower.
• Kitchen Island Alternative ~ A pretty table and chairs makes a great alternative to an island, while a single large-scale lantern or chandelier hanging above it will punctuate the room.
• TV in the Bathroom ~ If you love a good long soak in the tub, hang a wall-mounted flat-screen.
• Low-Maintenance Rugs ~ Indoor-outdoor rugs are super-easy to clean whether they're in the front of the sink, under a table, or if you have young children or pets. 
• Wall Storage ~ Hang your pots and pans for easy access and to free up cabinet space.
• Organize ~ Corral perfume bottles, jewelry — even flowers — on a small tray for a pretty, clutter-free countertop.
• Open Shelves ~ Place kitchen supplies — like cookbooks, bottles, and canisters — on an open shelf so they're within easy reach.
