Happy Monday β˜•οΈ

I've been listening to an audiobook on @audible_com this morning whilst feeling the breeze from the window, before the school run.

Does anyone other Aspie have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell? To the point where it's uncomfortable?

I'd love to know! #AutismAcceptance #AutismAwareness #aspergers

4 Home Remodeling Tips That Can Save You Money

Home renovations are something that gets costs quickly adding up.Β  Since remodeling a home is so expensive, it has become one of the biggest fears of being a homeowner. Not only is it so expensive, but at times it tends to be a major headache. You can go the DIY route but then you may end up butchering everything since you have no experience in this. There’s the easy and more expensive route of hunting for a contractor, getting their references, and then hearing additional suggestions on ways you can spend more money on them.

Renovations can be awful, they’re messy, parts of your home become off-limits, it’s pricey, and in general, it can be far too stressful.Β  But there are thankfully some ways to cut down on costs without cutting down on any corners. These home remodeling tips will help you save a tip while transforming to create your dream home.

Think about efficiency

Sure, the idea of having a big space such as a kitchen sounds amazing. But getting a larger room means tearing down and demolishing walls. Tearing down walls is one of the renovations that are far from cheap, and there aren’t any corners you can cut there. Instead of fantasizing about having such a large room and increasing the square footage, think about maximizing the efficiency. Think about kitchens, for instance, this is one of the rooms where furniture can have multiple functions.

Dining nook seats can double as storage units, cupboards and a hutch can hold multiple items. There are plenty of kitchen organization tools online to maximize and utilize the space within the kitchen.Β  Your kitchen will look and feel as good as new thanks to thinking outside the box to make it efficient.

Use your appliances as long as possible

Continuously using your appliances such as washer, dryer, fridge, dishwasher, or anything else will not only save you money but it’s also eco-friendly as well. There’s no need to buy a new appliance when it breaks down. Instead, search for appliance spare parts and pay someone to fix your appliance (or check out tutorials on YouTube).Β  Why replace something if it can be easily fixed? Having an item repaired tends to be far more affordable than buying a completely new product. Plus your preloved items will work as well as new too.

Check out second-hand shops

Second-hand shops have grown in popularity over the last few years and it’s understandable why. It’s a great way to prevent items from going to the landfill, it saves you money, and thrifted items tend to have more personality compared to the mass-produced things you see nowadays.Β  You can find so much stuff to boost the appearance of your home. Some great examples can include doorknobs, cabinet handles, faucets, light fixtures, paint, home dΓ©cor, bedding, and even furniture. You can find preloved goods on websites such as Gum Tree, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Amazon Warehouse, your local thrift shop, and even apps such as Wallapop.

Try partnering up with a contractor

You may be surprised to learn that you may be able to get a discount on your bill if you have a discussion with your contractor about you chipping in and helping. Not all contractors will do this as it may affect their liability insurance, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.Β 

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you take something positive away from this post about remodelling your home to save money.

Stay wonderful!

Louna x

Happiness, Lifestyle and all things wonderful.
I always say that the most important thing in life is happiness, therefore that is what I'd like to share.
I'm an honest, kind and happy person who loves sharing my experiences and real stories to help others like me realise they are not alone in this huge world.
I'm a huge supporter of mental health and body positivity and believe we can change the way society is about these topics together.
Just a small girl in a big world trying to be happy!

Here is my unboxing of my first Pause subscription box in April! 

April was all about reading and finding calm through reading. In order to embrace pausing though reading, this month included a task where we make Pompom book marks.

With green yarn it was lovely to follow the guide and find calm whilst making a little pompom bookmark.
