I love watching HGTV to learn tips on home improvement. These shows often have inexpensive tips on how to improve the value of your home by remodeling a room.

After buying my house, I took tips from the shows to add color through paint and add great accessories to my living room and bedroom.

They show inexpensive ways to make shelves and bookcases to hold china, photos, or knick knacks. (Don’t worry, if you’re not the best craftsmen, you can always use find a china replacement dish online.)

Or, if you don’t want to make your furniture, you can stop by wholesale furniture stores or buy through classified ads like craigslist.org.

If you want to improve the value of your home, check out my favorite shows: Flip That House, Design on a Dime, Decorating Cents, Curb Appeal, My House is Worth What? and Trading Spaces.
