DESCRIPTION:
This New York Times bestselling book is filled with hundreds of fun, deceptively simple, budget-friendly ideas for sprucing up your home.With two home renovations under their (tool) belts and millions of hits per month on their blog YoungHouseLove, Sherry and John Petersik are home-improvement enthusiasts primed to pass on a slew of projects, tricks, and techniques to do-it-yourselfers of all levels. Packed with 243 tips and ideas—both classic and unexpected—and more than 400 photographs and illustrations, this is a book that readers will return to again and again for the creative projects and easy-to-follow instructions in the relatable voice the Petersiks are known for. Learn to trick out a thrift-store mirror, spice up plain old roller shades, ""hack"" your Ikea table to create three distinct looks, and so much more.
Completing something far less than a full makeover—like a task that can be done in an evening—could be a genuine confidence builder. Experienced do-it-yourselfers should keep looking. There is some gold, like the steps to reupholster a chair, hidden in tips for framing and stenciling accessories. Still, the very simplicity of some of their ideas might be a virtue. While the couple has an obvious flair for transforming fixer-uppers, at first glance, the book's projects look elementary. From Publishers Week
