I live in a bungalow.
At first, I thought that was a fun word for a cool type of house. That was before I realized it was synonymous with "small." I was especially excited about having two walk-in attics on either side of my "master" bedroom.
Now, I wonder what it would be like to have a real master bedroom instead. That would entail taking out the attics and converting the upstairs to a much larger, usable space.
According to a link on the Berkley Home Show Web site, http://www.berkleyhomeshow.com, the return on investment for such a project is 77 percent. (Of course that assumes that a house is an investment...)
But how much would it cost to convert the attic, add a dormer or just turn one of the attics into a well-lit closet?
You can find out much more information on home improvements, renovations, decorating, financing and landscaping at the Berkley Home Show this weekend in Berkley, Michigan.
Sixty vendors have signed up for the event. It runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 13 at
Berkley High School, 2325 Catalpa, Berkley, MI 48072. It's free, AND you can get free advice.
At an Ask the Architect booth, homeowners can present photos, home mortgage surveys, etc. and get no-obligation feedback.
I'm going.
