Your last overnight guest is heading home, and the Christmas tree is beginning to drop its needles. The holidays are over and it is time to survey what remains. If you are like most homeowners, post-holiday cleanup is a bigger letdown than opening a present from your great aunt. This year, instead of just cleaning up your home, why not make it better than ever by finally completing those long-overdue remodeling projects? By the time Easter rolls around, you will be able to impress your guests.

Three Great Post-Holiday Remodels

The Bathroom. Reward yourself for surviving another family holiday with a top-of-the-line bathroom remodel. Upgrading your bathroom is one of the smartest ways to not only improve your lifestyle but to add value to your home at the same time. A few of the most highly sought-after improvements you can make in your bathroom include adding a new bathtub and replacing the old, tired vanity. If you have the budget why not create a spa-like experience and add a steam shower or sauna to help you recover?

The Kitchen. Were you disappointed in the way your holiday feast turned out? Maybe it is because your kitchen is inefficient and out-of-date. Now is a great time for remodeling your kitchen. Install a deep and wide sink to give you all the space you need to wash up after meals and a brand-new dishwasher can cut your clean up time to a few minutes. Consider purchasing a larger refrigerator and adding more dry storage space so you won't run out of snacks no matter how many people drop by uninvited. 

The Laundry Room. A laundry room is one of those little luxuries which makes a huge difference in the way you run your home. Plumbing for a new laundry room is expensive, but it reduces the time and effort it takes to wash and dry your clothes. As an additional bonus, a dedicated laundry room is an improvement which will make your home more attractive when it is time to sell. Many homeowners are now adding a second-floor laundry room to eliminate the need to carry clothes up and down the stairs all day. Even if you already have a laundry room, take advantage of after Christmas sales and install a new energy-efficient washer or dryer to reduce your utility bill.
