• Think about ready to assemble cabinets. Most people list cabinets on a home makeover wish list. You can have new cabinets at a fraction of the cost if you assemble them yourself. These cabinets will arrive at your home in pieces, you simply follow the instructions for putting them together. All pieces are there and cut to fit perfectly, so the job is not difficult.

Step 4

• Shop closeouts and discontinued styles. For tile, flooring, counter tops and fixtures, you can save a lot of money off the regular price when you shop discontinued styles. You may find items that you love that are deeply discounted so the store can  make room for new items coming in. In some areas there are home improvement and lumber yards dedicated to only closeout and discontinued merchandise. Even if your area does not have one of these stores, your local home improvement store will have clearance items. Discount stores and clearances are a wonderful shopping option when doing a full house makeover. 

Step 5

• Shop on the Internet. You can often find unique and inexpensive items such as light fixtures, lamps and other home decor items. The Internet connects you will sellers and stores around the country and around the world, you may find items for much less than what you would find in your own neighborhood. A quick search for any of your full house makeover wish list items, might find just what you are looking for at a price that you can easily afford.

Tips

Not everything you buy has to be new. Buying used can be a big  money saver and even though it is not new, it is new to your home.

Get creative, recycle items to give them a new use. For example, an old wrought iron table from your yard, can easily and inexpensively be turned into a unique piece of wall art.
