As a talented DIYer you don’t want someone else to paint your home for you. This is something you can do by yourself. It’s not that complicated and it’s something you can perfect in time. A fresh coat of paint can change the atmosphere in a room, it can make it look fresh again and it can also be the detail that the room needs in order to stand out. But before you get to work with color, make sure you follow all the steps: filling cracks, sanding, cleaning and priming.{found on desigsponge}.

The coffee table is usually the focal point of the living room. This being said, you have to make it stand out. And what better way to do that than by making the table yourself? A very easy project would be to use two wooden pallets and to stack them one on top of the other. Secure them with nails or glue and your coffee table is done. Another idea would be to use two empty wooden boxes or anything similar and to use them as the base for the table. The top can be an old window.

Then fold each corner of the square where the two creases meet. Do this for all the squares. Then organize them on a piece of foam board or cardboard and display your artwork on the wall.{found on howaboutorange}.
