You can jazz up the old laminate countertops in your kitchen by painting them. Start by scrubbing them down really well and then remove excess grime with an alcohol-based cleaner. Then, apply Aquabond as the primer and allow it to dry completely. You are now ready to paint the counter in any color melamine paint that you choose. Once it has dried thoroughly, you will need to coat it with at three coats of polyurethane to seal it.
BathroomSpicing up the bathroom is as simple as making your own custom towels. This might sound difficult, but all you need are some old towels, old sheets, and a sewing machine. Cut strips from the sheet and sew them along the edges of the towels. They will now have a matching and one of a kind look that serve both for function and decoration.
In the bedroom, you can make your own headboard from fabric to give your room a sophisticated and romantic look. You will need to install a drapery hook from the ceiling above the bed. Attach the long fabric to the hook and then drape it along the back of the bed to complete the look.
Living RoomIn the living room, you can make your own curtains from strips of ribbon. Choose at least three different designs or colors of ribbon and get several strips that are slightly longer than the windows. Allow them to drape to the windowsill and then tie the top ends to the curtain rods. Alternate the colors and designs for a funky look.
These are a just a few of the many DIY ideas that you can incorporate into your home. You don't need to have any special skills or artistic talents to take on these projects. They can all be completed in s short amount of time so don't lose your motivation or get overwhelmed either.
