You’re probably a bit more patient than I am, so yours will probably look much better than mine.

This video outlines the full process on a newly installed window.To quickly sharpen your kitchen or crafting scissors, just cut through a piece of sandpaper a few times.An old or slightly used up piece of sandpaper will work just fine, just make sure you wash your scissors with warm, soapy water once you’re done sharpening!For the last six weeks or so, I’ve been touring around with CIL paints and visiting with DIYers at a bunch of different Home Depots to help people get over their “paint paralysis”.

You know what I mean: It’s when you’re terrified to start painting a room for fear of picking the wrong colour and having to do everything all over again.So you just live with a colour you hate instead for years and years.It’s a stealer of joy in the lives of many innocent people for sure.

So first of all, it’s just paint.If you try something crazy and mess it up, it’s not really that big of a deal to do it over again.

Second of all, have no fear!

If you just want a nice paint colour that you know will work and make your home look instantly refreshed and updated, I’m here to help!.It’s about as in the middle of that wall as it can get.

I could have just painted everything to try to make it blend in with the wall, and that would have been just fine, but I felt like trying something a little more fun..When you think “beginner sewing projects” you usually think about throw pillows and stuff like that, but trust me, this is about as beginner of a project as you can get, so it’s worth a try if you like this look!.

This ruffly covered cord look will definitely be too fussy for some people, but I really like the contrast between the really traditional elements (like the lamps and the button-tufted settee) and some of the more rustic farmhousy elements like my light fixture and this garage-found side table.So it totally does the trick for me..
