Summary

From TLC and Style Network's top designer, a DIY book of decorating ideas to spruce up your home on a budget. You have a problem. Your current home "décor" is ugly, shabby, and boring, but you can't afford lots of new stuff. Or maybe your house is filled with tired old junk that you just can't bear to throw away. Or maybe you bought all your furniture at a big box store, but it irritates you that it all looks like you bought it there. You have a solution? Or, rather, a whole houseful of solutions. In this newest Big-Ass Book, do-it-yourself guru Mark Montano presents 105 practical, simple, and decidedly unboring craft projects for every space in your home. Montano's wizardry? Accomplished with masking tape, spray paint, and glue? Transforms everything from accessories, to walls and windows, to lighting, to major pieces like headboards, tables, dressers, and chairs. There's even a chapter on turning the anonymous items you got at IKEA into one-of-a-kind treasures!
