When I first purchased my century home I knew it needed a lot of care – but after all the major renovations were done so that the home was updated and structurally sound, I was a bit short on cash for the necessary aesthetic renovations inside. I decided to focus on one room at a time – devoting myself to the easily transitioned renovations such as paint and wall repair rather than refinishing the floors.

For my living room for example – I fixed all the cracks and water marks and painted it a deep bronze with white trim – this allowed more focus on the architectural features. The bronze color complimented a nice textured wall paper I chose for the main wall with the dark marble fireplace and then I focused on bringing the room together with silk drapes and an elegant area rug. This allowed ones attention to be drawn away from the marred floor and onto the beauty of  the room.

Think of these quick fixes when sagging and watch my video for more information! Remember paint can do wonders!
