Restore, Refurbish and Renovate ala Bob Vila

Your house shouldn’t be a mere house but a home.  It needs caring and loving remodeling, refurbishing, renovating and whatever is necessary to turn it into a home as beautiful in the inside as it is in the outside.  Oh well, what can I say?  The times of the house as just a place to sleep in have long since gone.  The ideal home has increasingly become a showplace, something worthy of showing to friends, family and acquaintances.  You can thank or curse Bob Vila for this development.
