The Dynamic Duo

Set foot in newlyweds Sherry and John Petersik’s recently renovated digs in Richmond, Virginia, and you’d think they paid a professional crew to transform it from a tired 50-year-old ranch into a brand-spanking-mod home. But you’d be wrong—this creative duo did it all themselves.

“We’re addicted to renovating!” says Sherry. “John and I like to get our hands dirty. Plus, we were on a budget, and doing it ourselves was the only option.”

Try your own DIY project!

Wow! I love what they did to the design. I really like the modern fireplace and the lentil. http://articles.ivillage.com/2007-02-08/Home/21648475_1_bedroom-pvc-painting

I think it's lovely that people still get down to doing things themselves. I've always wanted to build my own home, and I did so, in only 14 months. I went to the library and started reading and learning, I ordered my own materials, I know now everything there is to know from metal fabrication Maine to wood, which I'm probably not going to need ever again, but it was a fun process and a great sense of satisfaction once I was done.

You should take a look at a few mobile homes California. I have analyzed a few homes and I was amazed about the modern design and the high degree of comfort that such homes can provide. Maybe you want to have such a home when you retire.
