“Where do we start we start by updating, if you don’t update your out-of-date,” said Home Design Expert Tracy Metro. “I take that concept into my interior designs. Before you even begin getting out with the old and in with the new why not see if it actually needs to be replaced by just giving it some elbow grease and give it a nice clean. The Dish Fish is made of open cell technology which means when you scrub off the bits on the plate it flushes right through. It last long and resist bacteria odors Use it in hot water it gives you a soft scrub and when used in cold it gives you more of a firm scrub.”

“While you’re in your kitchen the quickest way to update your kitchen and the least expensive way is to change out the pulls and knobs on the doors and drawers,” said Metro. “And change your faucet. Faucets are like a necklace on a dress. The Coretta by Moen has a stainless spot resistant technology and it has a power boost technology right on right on the back. It fills faster and cleans in fifty percent of the time.”

Want curb appeal? Is the front of your home looking a little drab? “You can change the way the outside looks by transforming the look of your front door without putting in a new front door,” said Metro. “ If you to Zabitat website they show you how toc change out of parts of your front door. Most of us have a steel door you can cut. Cut out rectangle in your door and there is a pattern you follow and put in one of their glass door inserts. There is hundreds to choose from. Go from a plain door to a fab door.”

“Quick and easy to add elements is your pillows!” said Metro. “There one of the least expensive ways to completely change a living room. If you got plain dark pillows from the fall swap them out. Put in some florals and bright colors. That will completely transform the look of your home.”
