May is National Home Remodeling Month. Maybe I should have waited to remodel until May- no way, May is already way too busy for me.
I do have a couple of projects on my to-do list but they’re going to have to wait like repainting and decorating my living room and bedroom. But now that’s it’s finally warming up, my remodeling ideas are looking to outside living spaces such as creating outdoor living spaces. I would love a patio with a fire pit. I can dream, right?
What’s on your to-do list? Do you have anything planned for Remodeling month? Will it be a green remodel? If you’re looking for tips for green remodeling here are a couple websites full of advice and resources:
- Green Home has links and resources for green home building and remodeling.
- Build It Greenis for the professional builder or contractor but DIY’ers can also find useful advice on green building and remodeling by searching through the site.
- Inhabitat offers 5 Tips for Green Remodeling from eco-architect Sarah Susanka.
