During my recent Attic renovation, I decided to design and create my own pillows and bedding for the cubby beds in the space. (The above photo is the final look). On my last blog I shared about how I made round pillows with pom pom’s. Today I am sharing the process of making hand painted lumbar pillows with an invisible zipper. Once you know how to insert an invisible zipper, you can sew all kinds of pillows and blankets.
When I bought my 1938 Colonial Style home it didn’t take long before we realized that this house needed some major help becoming more efficient!
Making your home more energy efficient home is not only great for the environment, but it’s good for your wallet too!
As a single mom, I didn’t want to get stuck with a big energy bill every month, so I knew I was going to put some effort into getting this place up to snuff. I also wanted to get the most of my renovation dollars, and make sure that this house would be desirable for repurchase when I go to sell! Having a big oil bill every month is not going to look good for my real estate listing.
TD Insurance has some great efficiency tips on their website (linked here) and it inspired me to talk to you guys about some of the steps I take to make my home more efficient (I even learned a thing or two from TDI!)
I learned that a huge part making your home more energy efficient is just a simple matter of proper maintenance. The same way you check up on your health, you should schedule a check up for your home – it can help you prevent small issues from turning into larger issues like leaking pipes, collapsed roof and heating issues.
