How many of you dream of a home makeover?

I think all of the time about what I would do if I came upon the extra funds to remodel. The kitchen is the first room that comes to mind. I am in there a lot. I love to cook. I love to entertain. I have had amazing kitchen in my past three homes and now that I am divorced, I am in an older, smaller home with a very outdated kitchen. It is cute, and it functions just fine. Everything is tidy and in great working order, but there is a lot of wasted space. And, I miss my glass top stove. You can see how old my stove is. In fact, in this picture you can see how cramped the cooking space is next to the refrigerator, as well as how out of date the cabinetry is. Yikes. There is only so much that keeping a kitchen spotless can do for the overall good looks of your home.

I would love to redo the cabinets. I love cherry, but this is a small space, so I would open it up with lighter cabinets. And, the counters absolutely need a miracle. They are so old style and the former owners left burn marks like these all over the place. I swear the counters were blemish free when we did our inspection. They must have had a hot pot on the counter fiesta between then and closing.

I want granite top, with a flecked coloration that will hide crumbs for those times you do not have time to wipe up right away. Plus, those burn marks – I just want them gone.

Thank goodness for very cool makeover contests like the Tranform Your Home sweepstakes being sponsored by Renuzit TriScents. $20,000 toward making upgrades to my home would go a long way. And, it makes sense to me that a product that is all about fresh smelling spaces would sponsor a home makeover contest. I know I associate a clean, well cared for home with a fresh smell. I have real pride of ownership and I do not want anyone walking into my home and smelling pets or cooking aromas or stale mustiness. I think a clean smelling home is a huge reflection on the care you put into the beauty, cleanliness, and livability of your home.

I have already entered, but I wanted to make sure to alert all of my readers. Entering is simple, but be sure to follow the official rules. All you have to do is visit the Renuzit site and upload a video or photo, and a written essay that illustrates why you want the home makeover. Then, you just explain how you think Renuzit TriScents can help you fulfill your dream.
