Don't remodel your kitchen, cook in it!
A recent article by Elizabeth Razzi, in The Washington Post, offers up some tips to help weather the current economy. Lots of good ones, such as making sure you keep up with basic home maintenance to avoid bigger problems later on, checking out your phone services and cutting ones you don't need, and with the holidays coming up, toning down your decoration budget. I particularly found this one amusing: "The latest thing in kitchens: less remodeling, more cooking." I love that something like that is an actual tip, it cracks me up. But while it may seem to be a master-of-the-obvious kind of comment, it holds truth.
Marketers have taken us on a wild ride of "green" home decorating and renovation, but the greenest thing to do in most cases is to keep the decor you already have. There is nothing green about, let's say, new bamboo cabinets if your perfectly good oak ones (albeit from the 80s) are now sitting in a landfill.
