Going Boujie on a Budget

July 16, 2024

In real estate, we’ve seen impactful upgrades that give a home a fresh look while still being easy on the wallet.

These are a few of our favorite budget-friendly fixes:

  • Replace faucets and cabinet hardware. Estimated cost: $150-$400 for a kitchen faucet and $5-$25 per cabinet pull.
  • Upgrade door knobs and hardware. Estimated cost: $28 per passage door and $31 per privacy lock.
  • Swap builder-grade switch plates for decorative ones. Estimated cost: $5-25 per plate, depending on style.
  • Refresh rugs. Estimated cost: $189 for a 5×8 rug (check out our rug-picking guide).

We are a huge proponent of making small changes that go a long way.

Ready to take on some projects and not sure where to focus your efforts? Reach out, we’d love to help educate and answer questions you might have for getting more bang for your buck.

Think about it: a closed fist limits what you can hold and what you can give. An open hand? It’s an invitation for abundance, connection, and the chance to serve. What will you welcome today? ✋🏻

We talk countless times a day—via email, text, phone, and Marco Polo—but our real communication love language? GIFs! 🤣 Shoutout to @ivanaten_1, the world’s greatest TC (Transaction Coordinator) of all time! My love, gratitude, and admiration for this incredible woman are endless. 💫 Also, fun fact: I had to wear heels just to come close to matching her height! 😆 #weareRRG

One month left before he graduates…so I’m soaking up as much time as possible with Miles. So many emotions as the last Robbins gets ready to launch from the nest. 🪺 I’m grateful for this moment and that we were able to snap a pic of the two of us together. 💚

Not all glow ups are created equal! ✨ Sometimes it’s a little fresh paint and some decluttering. Other times… it’s a full-on transformation like SE Alder. This home got the ultimate makeover—inside and out—with the help of the talented team at @opaldesigngroup and @4mconstruction. From a major overhaul to stunning design details, it’s proof that smart updates = big ROI. What do you think of the those before and afters? Quite the GLOW UP! ✨ #portlandhomes #portlandhomerenovation #pdxhomemakeover #portlandinteriors #homeglowuppdx #portlandbeforeandafter
