Q: How can I keep my couches from sliding over my Pergo floors? We tried using stick-ons from Home Depot, but with two young boys, they didn’t last long.Ī: (Dave Wilson) Kort’s advice is to invest in Velcro sticks from any hardware store and put them on the feet. If it’s too sparse, it just doesn’t look right. I’ve been experimenting with different colors on the interior walls, but it works best when the open cabinetry is busy (and by busy, I mean filled). I find that they never get dirty sitting vertically. Of course, we are a big family and use plates nearly every day, so I love the idea of being able to see them all up close.


Baltimore used brick then - hence the paint - and I can’t sandblast it to restore the original brick.Ī: (KW) I model a lot of the open cabinetry after European kitchens (which is so in right now). Q: I’m looking for color suggestions to change up a 1935 white brick house. I would say we generally spend about $170,000 a house to do a bump-out and complete overhaul on about 2,500 square feet. It’s important to do your due diligence.Īs far as budgets, they run anywhere from $60,000 (for a smaller house that doesn’t need a bump-out) to about $250,000. If something goes wrong and you are upside down, the bank will probably not want to lend you money. We were actually going to mortgage a house this week, but to stay competitive and get it, we decided last minute to pay cash.Ĭash is always best, because houses go quickly and you avoid carrying costs, but it is also riskier. Q: How much money do you need to flip a home? Also, is it better to get a mortgage on such a property or, if you have the cash, purchase the house outright?Ī: (Kortney Wilson) That is a loaded question because not only is every house different, but every market is different.
