How to Upgrade a Builder Basic Home | Our Top 12 Ideas

from Dear Alice | Interior Design · host Alice Lane

Today the gang is talking about those upgrades for a builder basic home. If you’re getting ready to build a home, you’re going to go with a big builder and he has a little center where you can pick out your paint, countertops and tile, and you only have a few selections. It’s like your build-a-bear. They get into how as designers they would “build the bear” or how they have in the past and how to work the system.  Intro 0:00 The first time we owned a home or really invested 1:05 Cabinetry 9:20 The hood 16:00 Countertops 20:15 Custom counter edge 21:50 Lighting 24:40 Outlets 29:50 Fireplaces 32:30 Mirrors 36:40 The accent wall 38:20 The power of paint 40:25 Carpet pad 41:40 Appliances 43:30 Blinds 47:00 “In a builder basic home, you might have $10K or something. Do not spend your 10K on their bad lighting. You keep that, you pocket that, you put it into something else in the home, and then you just spend your own $10K wisely, and then you can add to that as you want to put more lights in the home.” 26:57 https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/ https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/ https://alicelanehome.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/ https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity https://www.alicelaneinteriordesign.com/interior-design-service-podcast-campaign https://alicelanehome.com/pages/home-furnishing-podcast-campaign News Letter:  https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5 Learn more about your ad choices.
