With sales of new and existing homes remaining slow nationwide, many homeowners are looking for ways to add value now. Installing stylish interior doors and replacing old exterior trim are two great ways to make your home look even better today and sell it for more later.
Doors can offer so much more than entry into a room. Because they are made in various panel designs and can be easily painted or stained,interior doors have become a key part of a home’s overall decor.
“Many homes have plain flush doors that look rather boring,” says Bob Merrill, president and CEO for Chicago-based CMI, which makes CraftMaster Interior Doors. “One of the easiest ways to dramatically change the look inside your home is by replacing your current doors with raised- or flat-panel molded doors. New doors add fresh style, character and personality.”
Molded interior doors are made to resist swelling, shrinking, cracking and splitting. “CraftMaster also makes eco-friendly green doors that contain sustainable materials, recycled content, low VOC primers and have low formaldehyde emissions,” Merrill adds.
Typically, a home has around 17 interior doors, including passage and bifold (closet) doors. In many homes, those doors have a hollow core. Replacing standard, hollow core doors with solid core doors to add weight and reduce noise is a popular DIY project.
Creative Chair Design: IKEA’s Dalfred Stool with Brooks Saddle
We found this crazy, but very captivating design on IKEA Hackers that we just had to share further.IKEA’s Dalfred Stool was given a new fresh look with an addition that could probably puzzle some.
After all, a saddle is not the most comfortable seating unit in the world. However, according to some people who experienced the chair, it is as smooth as it gets. In case you are wondering about the complexity of the building process, here is a statement from the project developers: “We replaced the nondescript seat of the Dalfred stool with a beautiful, broad, bouncy Brooks B135 leather bicycle saddle. This required grinding away some plastic at the top of the mounting post to expose metal of the right diameter to fix the saddle to.
That’s pretty much it.” We really enjoyed this simple and out-of-the-box idea and are curious to see you reactions.
