How can I save money on my renovation?

[Andrew Freed]

Any ideas on money saving tactics for this renovation? It's a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment. I was planning on doing on the following:

-Paint all rooms, ideas for colors would be great

-Paint cabinets, replace cabinet handles

-Cover countertop with self adhensive granite laminate sheets

-Tile glaze bathroom

-Replace door hardware hinges and locks

-Upgrade lighting fixtures and install dimmers and speed controller for fans

-Screen or refinish hardwood floors underneath carpet

-Install luxury plank flooring for kitchen

-Replace filters, install smoke alarms in every room
