Be Productive During Time Spent At Home

3/24/2020 (Permalink)

We are all being challenged by the current situation, with the expectation to quarantine and self-isolate due to the coronavirus. Staying at home for an extended period of time can be difficult. However, there are many home improvement projects that can be undertaken by families to help pass the time productively and avoid cabin fever.

• Freshen up a room with a different paint color and new switch plate covers.
• Organize drawer and closet spaces.
• For a new look, update light fixtures, faucets or cabinet hardware.
• As weather improves, give your yard a boost by planting flowers, shrubs, and trees and pressure washing walkways, siding, and gutters.
• Add molding or shelves to a room or backsplash in the kitchen.
• Upgrade flooring or shampoo rugs.
• Strip and stain cabinets or furniture.
• Clean dryer ducts and replace furnace filters.

It is often hard to set aside extra time for home cleaning, reorganizing and simply making the home better. So even though this time of social-distancing seems stressful, we can definitely make the most of it by spending more time with the family and working on home improvements!
