Ever wanted to pack your bags, move to a remote island, and dive head-first into a home renovation project? Ireland’s making your dream a reality—well, sort of.
The Irish government recently revealed its Our Living Lands pledge, a 10-year national policy to revitalize the islands off their western coast. Per the initiative, Ireland will give individuals €84,000 (approximately $92,000) to refurbish vacant or run-down homes on 30 of the country’s islands. The goal, according to the Irish government is to strengthen the islands’ communities and increase their population.
For many, this seems like a great opportunity to spend time in Ireland—which, don’t get us wrong, it is. However, in this corner of the internet, we’re seeing it as an opportunity to live out our dreams as professional home renovators. (Do you hear that HGTV? We’re ready for our closeup!)
TEXARKANA, Texas — The Ace of Clubs House does not have any plans to open this summer, but the historical museum’s face lift continues, and the Museum of Regional History is open to tour.
“This is a massive project,” said Emily Tarr, executive director for the Texarkana Museum Systems, about the renovation happening at the Ace of Clubs House.
Last week, the removal of the plastic sheets surrounding the cupola took place and the installation of windows and frames in the house began. The museum is in the process of doing an entire interior and exterior renovation.
“The exterior is going to happen first,” Tarr said. “In the next couple of weeks, you’ll see scaffolding going up on the entire house.”
Tarr said next the plan is to start painting and patching the plaster.
“It has gone through basically 10-plus years of total neglect,” she said.

A one-bedroom German Village cottage built before the Civil War has been listed for $1.175 million after being gutted and expanded.
The rebuilt home received the German Village Society’s “Caretakers of the Legacy” award in 2021, but the award was hard-earned for owners Jim and Tammie Fisher.
The couple’s plan to simply update the home when they bought it in 2019 proved to be naïve, Jim Fisher said.
“As we got into it, we found out there were things that needed more attention than we thought,” he said.
“We hoped to save the hardwood floors, for example, and found out there wasn’t enough good material to do that, so we took the floor material and repurposed it for the range hood, the bathroom ceiling and other uses. The house also had an original slate roof that leaked. As we tried to fix the leaks, we discovered it was making it
The demand for partial home renovation is on a rise as South Korean families opt for a more affordable approach to transforming houses amid rising raw material prices and labor costs.
According to industry sources on Monday, demand for partial remodeling projects has gone up for their convenience and lower cost.
Partial renovation allows families to choose the areas they want to transform without the need to move out. The simpler home face-lift costs less than renovating the whole space in the house, with a shorter period, which takes one to 3 days.
Korea’s largest furniture and home furnishing company Hanssem Co. said that sales from sliding door construction contracts rose 10 percent between April and May from a year ago.
A sliding door at the entrance, a popular solution to partial home remodeling, costs an average of 1 million won ($764) for installation. Surveys
