PostHeaderIcon You Can Repair Holes in Your Drywall Yourself!

Painting the rooms in your home can create a whole new look! But, no amount of paint is going to cover up those unsightly holes in your drywall!

You can repair most holes yourself just using some drywall compound. Use a utility knife to cut away any loose pieces of the paper and remove the loose drywall from the hole.

You will need to put something inside the hole to support the compound. If the hole is fairly small, you can wad up pieces of old newspapers and put them inside the hole.

You can also use pieces of cardboard that are cut longer than the hole, but narrow enough to slide back into it. Make a hole in the center of the cardboard, insert a string and knot it so that it won’t slide out.

Attach the string to the wall with a thumb tack or some tape to hold it tight against the inside of the drywall. Using a putty knife fill the hole with drywall compound, smoothing it out as much as you can.

Once the drywall has completely dried, cut the string off as close to the drywall as you can with a utility knife. Now you’re ready to sand the area and paint it! :)

PostHeaderIcon Add a Temporary Guest Room With a Sofa Bed!

A sofa bed is a huge improvement over the old roll-away beds we use to have in case over-night guests showed up! They have also came a long way in both design and comfort!

Years ago there was few choices when purchasing a sofa bed, but manufacturers have expanded their lines to meet today’s needs! You now have many styles to choose from and no one will even know they’re sitting on a “bed”!

Shopping for a sofa bed is pretty much like shopping for any other sofa. You need to make sure that the sofa is the right size for your room and very comfortable to sit on.

You should always pull the bed out to make sure that it slides out easily. And, lay on the bed for a few minutes to make sure that it’s actually comfortable.

Another thing to consider when purchasing a sofa bed is the construction. Like any other regular sofa, joints that are nailed, stapled or glued won’t last long. ;)

PostHeaderIcon Replace Your Kitchen Cabinet Doors for a Whole New Look

Giving your kitchen a whole new look can be quite expensive, but it doesn’t have to be! If your cabinets are in good condition, instead of replacing them consider just replacing the doors!

Many places now offer many different designs of customized cabinet doors. No matter what style kitchen you’re going for, you should be able to find doors that will fit right in!

Custom cabinet doors also come in a wide variety of woods and colors. Taking a small door from your kitchen along on your shopping trip will help insure that your doors match the cabinet bases in your kitchen perfectly!

Just measure the size of all of your existing cabinet doors and take the measurements with you when shopping for new ones. Once you’ve gotten the new doors, all you’ll need to do is attach the hinges!

Another quicker and cheaper way to change the look of your kitchen cabinets is with new hardware. Just changing the handles on your drawers and doors can spice up your kitchen with a new look! :cool:

PostHeaderIcon Add Some Tiles to Your Kitchen for a Decorative Touch!

The kitchen is one of most expensive rooms in your home to remodel. Adding tiles around the back of your counter tops is a great way to give your kitchen a new decor without the high expense!

The hardest part of choosing the tiles will probably be in picking the design. There are literally countless designs to choose from, including anything from solid colors, tiles that look like rock, to floral and fruit designs!

Before purchasing and installing tiles, you should give it a lot of thought. If you use theme based tiles such as fruit, then changing the look of your kitchen will mean that you have to change tiles!

Choosing solid color tiles or tiles that look like natural rock and stone, will give you the option of redecorating your kitchen without the work of changing the tiles!

Kitchen tiles are easy to install and just one layer around the back of your counter tops adds a decorative touch to your kitchen walls. It’s also a great way to protect the walls behind your sink from water damage! ;)
