Creating a Beautiful Rental Home: Tip 3 ~



Tip #3:
Replace hardware in bathrooms and kitchens


You can easily switch out cabinet knobs and towel bars to spruce up a room. You can find inexpensive knobs and pulls at Ikea or other hardware stores. My goal is to spruce up the laundry room with some new knobs. I found some at Ikea 6 for $3.99. They are a plain dull grey but my plan is to spray paint them, either black or chrome. 


We found the house lacked towel bars in the main bathroom so for $40 we got 2 bars.

Now the once plain (and purple!) wall looks polished and finished with new towel bars and personalized art.

  1. The paint color is nice. My powder room is a similar color and it's one of my favorites in the house. Also, thanks for mentioning the IKEA knobs. I need some and couldn't remember what they charged... (I guess I could have looked it up on line!)
