New homeowners may want to paint the walls, upgrade the floors, or add more rooms to match their style. But they may not know how to get started. As a new homeowner, 25-year-old Anthony Ward explained during an in-person interview how he developed ideas, worked with contractors and saved money to create a home that fits his needs.

Developing Ideas

After purchasing his California home, Ward realized he needed to make several changes:

• Put up a wall in a bedroom to create two smaller rooms
• Gut and expand the kitchen
• Replace the flooring with tile, carpet, and hardwood floors
• Add new dry wall and insulation
• Upgrade plumbing to copper
• Upgrade electric

Additionally, he said he found some decorating ideas from various sources.
