You can cover up blemishes in the wall while adding visual interest just by using drywall mud to add texture. It’s easy to texture. Use a trowel to apply the drywall mud and use a sponge, a brush or a even a plastic bag to create interesting textures.

After moving to your next location, consider taking the first few weeks for insulating the interior and encapsulating the warmer air. You can install weather-stripping on each of your windows and doors. You can cut costs when you prevent air from escaping and coming in your home. These small measures will add up to big savings in the long run.

Your sofa cushions flatten over time. If you want to “fluff” up those cushions, and give them new life, use the sun. Any moisture in the cushion will evaporate in the sun and the original bounce will be restored. Be certain to flip the cushions over often, and bring them inside when possible so that the fabric does not fade in the sunshine.

The caning on a chair will eventually sag. But you can repair it back to the way it once looked using this easy tip. Wet a sponge and run it under the caning. It’s important that you use warm water to do this. Allow the caning to dry overnight. Repeat until the caning is fully repaired.

A touch of spackle and a little paint will freshen up walls that look the worse for wear due to lots of nail and hanger holes. All home improvement stores sell spackle. You don’t need much for small holes. For tiny holes, apply the spackle with the point on a bobby pin. After the spackle has dried, just smooth the hole with a rigid object such as a credit card. Paint over the area. Presto! No more holes on the wall.

Keep these tips in mind when you have another daunting project. If you get the right information you can make good decisions. Put the effort in and get the job done.
