Remodeling ideas for fall and winter in Minnesota
This morning’s weather was just the first taste of things to come: fall and winter in Minnesota. While we’re all for living it up for the next few warm weeks, it’s also a good idea to start planning now for fall and winter renovations.
And if you’re going to be trapped indoors for the long dark winter, you might appreciate completing a few home renovations before that season hits.
With more and more families choosing to stay put in their current home vs. trying to sell in a challenging housing market, we’re experiencing an increase in remodeling work.
Warmth-related remodeling ideas:
-Remodel your master or main family bathroom and install in-floor radiant heating. It’s energy efficient and makes for luxuriously warm toes when you step on the tile post-shower.
-Update your kitchen. On chilly winter days, that’s where the family always congregates. Make it work better, feel more inviting and provide traffic flow with updates including taking down walls, installing an island, or simply updating with the latest materials.
Warm and welcoming kitchen as a family gathering spot.
-Take the man cave to the next level. Finish off that basement for maximum Vikings game and poker night potential. Or, for a more well-rounded approach, create a family-friendly lower-level space that combines TV, games, kids areas, and a wine bar for the adults.
-Kids driving you nuts? Transform the master bedroom into a grown-up retreat, complete with a fireplace, if possible!
-Were wet, cold socks the bane of your existence last winter? Envision an entry area where boots aren’t stacked and where you can walk freely, in socks, without fear of stepping in a puddle. We can work with your existing space to create a more efficient and warm entry area that keeps clutter to a minimum.
