A $500 Room Makeover
Contributed by: Janene Gaines Margaret Kelly   on 8/27/2007

There is the $500 room makeover, the $1000 room makeover and the $2000
room makeover. There is also Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo and Big Bird.

T.V. is entertainment and at times informative, but may not provide all aspects of a situation. Anything is just about possible on Television; as anything
is just about possible in the real world, but it costs money. By
discussing a makeover this includes more than painting the walls.

When doing a room be realistic regarding your choices. You have a budget and only certain things can be accomplished for a dollar amount. On television material costs are revealed to you. What is not addressed directly is the gas expense to obtain materials and the cost of labor to do the job. Your personal time is also an expenditure.

Your costs can be the money you loose if you run your own business; you can't be in two places at once. The second loss is the time you loose with your family because you become so involved with the project. The third loss is the money you loose if the room does not end up the way you wanted and there are expenses to redo it or to fix it.

So tips to keep in mind:
*A room makeover costs more than $500, keep your expectations reasonable.
*Write yourself a plan of action.
*Professional Trade Labor needs to be addressed thru estimations.
*If you do the job yourself there is a time cost, whether its driving all over town or the actual implementation of the project.
