Do you lot bring some accessories that aren't quite working for you?  If you lot endeavor to run across them inwards a dissimilar light, sometimes a pocket-size alter makes a big difference! 

I've made a few slowly accessory tweaks to a greater extent than or less the house.  I've had these gigantic chunky candleholders for a few years, simply had tired of the red.  Nothing a fiddling chip of spray pigment couldn't fix!

I used Rustoleum glossy "Fern" in addition to idea I mightiness glaze the details a little, simply decided I liked it every bit is.

This big birdcage was a cracking $8 thrift score.  I'm using it on the shelves inwards the office.  It got a coat of golden spray paint, simply I idea it looked a fiddling apartment inwards the big shelf.  So, I bought vi $0.94 wooden knobs at Home Depot, painted them, in addition to glued them to the bottom.  Everything looks amend alongside a fiddling lift!  That's all I'll tell well-nigh that. :)

While browsing the spider web I saw that The Nester had pose a few fiddling ceramic animals inwards ane of her planters.  I idea "Huh, I tin practise that too!"  I've ever liked giraffes, in addition to these fiddling guys teach lost on a shelf, therefore I gave them a novel jungle domicile inwards house of a fiddling succulent that died inwards that spot.  Perfect amount of quirk in addition to whimsy.

I introduced you lot to these guys a few weeks ago.  They're cute in addition to the kids (and the hubby) are having a ball alongside them.  I teach to babysit all twenty-four hours when everyone else goes to schoolhouse in addition to work. The ane thing I didn't miss land nosotros were without a truthful cat is the fur on the furniture, in addition to every bit difficult every bit I'm trying, I can't hand off them off of the sofa or the chair seats.  I remembered a cracking tip that I wanted to part alongside you.   All you lot demand to banish fur is a condom glove!  

Put the glove on in addition to run your manus across your cushions.  All of the fur volition easily collect into a pile.  I did this on a sofa cushion that I had JUST vacuumed in addition to was amazed at all the pilus the vacuum left behind!

I've also got some other lather refill tip for you.  I was shocked to run across how many of you lot liked my foaming lather refill tip, therefore I idea I'd transcend this ane along every bit well.

My immature adult woman got ane of those Lysol no-touch lather dispensers for a fun gift for her birthday.  She loves it!  But, $3.50 at Wal-Mart for the 8 oz. refill bottle?  I don't intend so!

They teach inwards challenging to brand you lot intend you lot can't practise it, simply you lot tin popular the top off of the master bottle!  I used a sturdy sparse apartment caput screwdriver to pry the cap off.  It's tough, you lot mightiness intend it's going to break, simply it shouldn't.  I've removed the cap twice therefore far to refill alongside our favorite less than $1 liquid soap.  Snap the cap correct dorsum on in addition to supplant the bottle inwards the dispenser.  Easy!

Alright!  There's lots of info. for you lot to intend well-nigh over the weekend.  What quick fiddling changes tin you lot brand to a greater extent than or less your house?
