I’m always on the lookout for easy home upgrades that I can do- that don’t take more than five minutes. I love the idea of having a totally personalized, put together house, but I usually lack the skills to make all my DIY ideas a reality. I don’t know much about electricity, wiring, carpentry, plumbing, or even painting (I’d rather call a professional for those services) – but I’m all for throwing a little glitter on a dollar store item to make it look like a million bucks! That’s why I love this Buzzfeed article by Peggy Wang– it’s packed full of ideas that will make your home stand out, without having much technical knowledge on repairs:
-Paint your old vinyl or linoleum floors
-Make your own curtain tie backs
-Hide television wires in a shower curtain rod
-Add a large picture frame around your flatscreen TV- or add frames around light switch covers
-Cover an air vent with a doormat
