Architectural Details Make Your House A Home And Add Value

With the economy in the state it's in, many more people are staying put instead of moving. If you're not going to get something new, you will eventually want to do some remodeling. Architectural details add value to a home and so, not only will you have something that feels new now, you'll have an easier time selling your home in the future should you decided to do so.

I may have mentioned before that I'm at the house we are in for life. We live on family property that my husband absolutely loves. So, we've done some remodeling and will be doing more in the near future.

We have a great architectural consignment store about a half hour from us, but we don't always have the time to go there, and being a consignment store, they don't always have what we're looking for. InvitingHome.com carries a wide range of architectural products, shipped right to my door!

One thing I'm looking for, in particular, are new pull handles for my cabinets. When we had our concrete countertop installed, the friend that installed it, thought I might regret not getting new cabinets because once the countertop is on there, the cabinets aren't going anywhere. However, I decided there was no need. They are still in good shape, just looking a little dated. Decorative hardware, like the door pulls in the photo below, can totally change the look of an existing cabinet or piece of furniture.


InvitingHome.com carries such a wide selection of those hard-to-find items. There's everything from from the decorative hardware, to Corbels, to shutters, to wood columns, ceiling medallions and more... those small things that will add so much to your home.

  1. You can make a somewhat crappy house look fabulous inside with some nice details. You're totally on point here. :)

  2. You are right, it is often the small details that make a house a home. Even better, it is much more inexpensive to focus on these details. Very insightful blog, thanks for sharing!
