The Indoor Refresh Month
If you’re experiencing cabin fever from the cold weather lately, you’re not alone. To keep your motivation up, there’s no better cure than an indoor project. You don’t need a full renovation to be productive, just a few target areas and a plan. Here are a few updates you can tackle while we wait for springtime.
Update Cabinet Hardware
Often overlooked, cabinet hardware is the “jewelry” of your kitchen and bath. Check your current handles and knobs for loose threading or general wear and tear. If you’re ready for a new look, swapping dated gold knobs for sleek matte black hardware is a simple, high-impact update that changes the whole feel of a room.
Light Shine So Bright
It’s still dark during the morning commute and after work hours, so any opportunity to add extra light makes a big difference in your home’s atmosphere. Here is how to improve your lighting:
- Switch light plates – Swap out old, yellowing switch plates for fresh, clean wallplates to instantly brighten your walls.
- Upgrade fixtures -Replace dim entryway or hallway lights with bright, modern fixtures to make your space feel more welcoming.
- Update your bulbs – Consider switching to “Daylight” LED bulbs in workspaces like the kitchen or laundry room. They mimic natural sunlight, which can help boost your energy and mood.
Closet Clean out
Winter gear can take up a massive amount of space. With warmer weather on the horizon, now is the perfect time to reorganize your closets and prepare for spring.
- Use Storage Bins – Move off-season clothes into storage bins and keep them in your basement or garage to free up closet space.
- Add shelving – If you have the room, adding extra shelves helps keep your essentials organized and in sight.
- Install utility hooks – If shelving isn’t an option, sturdy hooks are perfect for hanging coats, hats, and pet supplies in mudrooms or entryways.
Garden Tool Prep
It’s likely been a few months since you last checked your garden gear. Get organized now to beat the spring rush!
- Tool cleanup – Clean and sharpen your shovels and pruners. Use a wire brush to remove rust and a sharpening stone to give your blades a fresh edge.
- Replacements and stock – Check your inventory and stock up on grass seed and hand tools so you’re ready for the first day of planting.
- Mower service – Whether you have a push mower, riding mower, tractor, or zero-turn, our team is here for seasonal tune-ups and detailed inspections. Bring them in soon to make sure that your equipment is in top shape before the grass starts growing!
