2. Expand your Dining Space
"Gather together" doesn't have the same meaning when members of the family are scattered around the house, hoping to balance their heaping holiday plates on their knees without incident. Invest in a larger dining area with expandable leaves so that everyone has a seat at the table.

If Einstein had a wall bed, the theory of relativity would have been a fact. Drop the bed down when guests are in town, then use the space for something better - like a home gym or science lab - when they're gone.

"Smart" House
Besides meaning "intelligent," smart also means "stylish, elegant in appearance and appealing to sophisticated tastes." If you look around your home and see smart phones, smart TVs and smart thermostats but the rest of your home design looks "dumb," it's time for a makeover! Gadgets and WiFi stickers won't make you proud of your home but licensed interior designers and expert craftsmen will. Visit the brand new RRI showroom in Valencia and see what "smart" really looks like.

If the thought of removing your carpet has you holding your breath, ask about Healthier Living Installation (HLI). It starts with a HEPA vacuum sesh, then carpet removal, then more vacuuming, then a spray of Healthinex, an antimicrobial physical barrier that kills microbes. The process finishes with the installation of antibacterial low-emission padding that kills microbes and eats odors.

6. Paint Cabinets Instead of Replacing Them
Hoping for a Watergate-level cover up of your dated kitchen cabinets? Forget DIY on this one, no matter what Pinterest says. Having a pro repaint your cabinets is the most cost-effective means of updating them - in fact, you'll typically pay one-third to one-half of the costs of replacing cabinets.
