Patch the holes in your walls with toothpaste! Yes, this is definitely a temporary cover up but it works to hide an ugly hole until you can come up with the materials for a more permanent fix. Use white toothpaste and trowel it into the hole with a butter knife.

There are many home-improvement tasks that are easy to do, and can really enhance the beauty of your home. Replacing the old hardware on your kitchen cabinets with new updated hardware, is a relatively easy job and can give your cabinets a fresh new look. Taking on small home-improvement projects will help give you the confidence to take on bigger projects in the future.

If you are going to do an remodeling on your home, make sure that your maintenance issues are fixed first. Don't put in granite counters if the plumbing or wiring is outdated and needs fixing. You could end up having to rip out what you've done in the near future. Furthermore, buyers in today's market want to know that the property they are buying is in good condition. And, you never know when you might need to sell up.

If you are buying a new bathtub, be sure to sit in the tub and lie back in it to be certain it's the right size and shape for you before purchasing it. Also, take good measurements of your bathroom space to be sure the tub will fit in the space you have.

Resurface the concrete walkways and driveways around your home for a new look. Replacing concrete can get incredibly expensive and doesn't add much to the curb appeal of your home. Consider resurfacing with cobblestone or brick which will cost a fraction of replacing concrete and will look like a million bucks.

Home improvement starts with having a plan and the right tools. Make sure you purchase everything before hand and have the appropriate measurements for your project. This will not only save you time, but the hassle of having to go back and forth from the hardware store, thus saving you plenty of headaches.

Make sure that only high quality supplies are used in your home improvement projects. This will ensure that the work lasts for greatest amount of time and offers the best finish. You don't want to find out a few months down the road that using a higher quality would have prevented wear and tear or easy damaging.

Try giving all of your appliances a bit of a facelift. Try to get your appliances to match or to be of the same set. If they don't match, try ordering matching face panels or doors. The look and feel of a more cohesive room decorum can really bring a room together.

Although it can be tempting to continually put off home repairs, or hire a professional to do simple repair work and, in doing so, rack up a costly bill, most people are amazed to discover how easily and readily they are able to do basic home repair work and maintenance themselves.
