Winter Home Projects You Can Do Indoors

Use winter for smart indoor upgrades. This guide covers painting, cabinets, flooring, lighting, and projects that keep your Kentucky remodel on track.


Making Winter Productive

When exterior work stops, interior projects shine. Kentucky winters give you 3-4 months of prime indoor project time.
