  Cellar's Market: Cool Additions to Basement Digs

A man's home is being reclaimed as his castle, thanks to fix-up jobs, pumped-up appliances, clever design elements and state-of-the-art electronics - all aimed at upgrading the typical male domain: the garage and basement.


  How to clean up when selling your home

These 10 tips can help turn your "home for sale" into a home that's sold.


  Homeowners opting for gas fireplaces for convenience, efficiency, ambiance

Many homeowners are increasingly saying gas fireplaces are cheaper and more efficient.


  First-time buyers tend to paint, plant, refinish

More than half of first-time buyers - especially in older areas of the country - choose older, generally less expensive houses.


  Tips for buying furniture

With all the expenses attached to homeownership, coupled with the one-time expenses that come in the first year decorating and furnishing the house, it's important to carefully plan your furniture purchases.


  Make storage, organization a priority in the kitchen

When it comes to our kitchens, storage and organization are becoming essential ingredients.


  If you're remodeling, keep your neighbors in the loop

It's important to keep neighbors apprised of your remodeling plans and what to expect in the coming weeks or months.


  Remodeling adds resale value to your home

A great deal of the money you invest in home improvements is added to the resale value of your home.


  Let the Sun Shine In

If the word conjures up images of an architectural afterthought, of a long span of smoked, curved glass that is too hot to inhabit in summer and too cold to endure in winter, then it might be time to re-conjure.


  Dual dishwashers, more workspace, sea colors expected to be popular in kitchen In 2004

Kitchen remodeling is expected to continue at a rapid pace in 2004 with such trends as the kitchen serving as a multipurpose room, incorporating dual dishwashers and ovens, and coloring the room in softer sea blue and greens expected to take hold this year.


  When to avoid 'value-added' home improvements

Home improvements can add value to your home, but if you perform them when it's time to sell your home, don't expect the buyer to pay for them.
