24 Easy Upgrades To Create A #FestiveHolidayHome

Getting your house ready to show off to holiday visitors can be a daunting task. To make all the prep less of a chore, we've gathered our best holiday home ideas from the popular Home Solutions column of This Old House magazine! These quick and easy problem solvers are fun ways to turn any ho-hum house to a festive holiday home.

#Summerland #HomeImprovementPros

Before you start sending out dozens of emails and making phone calls, sit down and think about your project. What's your budget? What is the scope of your project? Will you need more than one type of professional to complete your home improvement project? Can you afford to complete the full project now, or should you tackle it bit by bit? Once you've settled on your project’s priorities, budget and scope, it's time to start researching home design professionals. Don't sell yourself short and settle on the first professional you set your sights on. Make sure that you're working with someone local, who can get to the jobsite easily and efficiently. Look into the person’s reviews, ask to speak with former clients and to see previous jobs in person. Take a good look at their portfolio photos...

#SantaYnez #HomeImprovementPros

Even if you're the kind of person who makes everything a DIY project, there's always a point when a home remodeling or decorating project could use a professional set of eyes. Whether you are redoing your backyard, need some help planning your living room or can't figure out where to put the kitchen sink, a quality home professional can help you do it right.

Make Sure Your Home Is In Top Shape For Festivities

 

The holidays are right around the corner and now is the time to take care of the improvements you've been procrastinating about all year long. From dead doorbells and jammed doors, to caulking the bath and replacing broken tiles, here are our top quick fixes to do before holiday guests arrive, and all the information you need to get the job done right.

#DIYThanksgivingCenterpiece

A tree that celebrates giving and being thankful is a special treat for guests and family this holiday. Invite guests around your Thanksgiving table to share what they are thankful for and what they would like to give to others in the upcoming year.

#BerkshireHathaway’s #CharlieMunger Makes #RecordBreaking #UCSBDonation

UCSB welcomed a donation for its record books this week: $65 million from Berkshire Hathaway billionaire Charles Munger. Although early media reports suggested that Munger had gifted the university — which his grandson attended — with $20.7 million, his actual contribution was more than triple that and marks the single largest donation to the university, topping the $50 million donated by Oracle tycoon and alum Jeff Henley in 2012.
