Nothing makes a home look older than loose, broken,
outdated or dirty hardware. This is especially true in
kitchens and bathrooms that tend to attract a
homebuyer’s attention more than any other rooms in a
house.
The good thing is that it is easy and
inexpensive to fix these problems. You will be amazed
at what a difference a few simple changes can make!
Consider the following updates to brighten your home and give it a new,
fresh and updated look:
– Cabinet Hardware: Repair loose knobs and pulls by tightening screws,
replacing stripped screws, and plugging gaps with wood filler. Alternately,
you may decide to replace knobs and pulls entirely. There is a wide variety
of options to choose from in every price range, and from simple to ornate.
– Door Hinges: It’s common to find paint on door hinges, yet it’s an easy
mistake to correct. Paint can be removed by washing it with hot, soapy
water and scrubbing with a toothbrush. Afterward, use a paint stripper that
is safe for all surfaces and then shine things up with brass polish.
– Door Knobs: Door knobs are everywhere in your home! Be sure that they
are all tightly attached and sparkly clean to make a great impression. Use
polish for brass knobs and warm water and dish soap for stainless steel.
