Wicker resin furniture isn’t quite like the traditional wicker you’ve got sitting inside. Instead, thanks to the resin, this stuff is capable of handling whatever Mother Nature throws at it.

Not quite the bathroom, but we're painting the stair area while we've got everything taken apart.

Doorways to hallway and study. Here you can see how we've used the tiny space between the doorways to hang awkwardly sized items. You can also see the stereo speakers I installed. See that speaker wire? It goes all the way to the stereo in the living room. THAT was a fun three hours.

Home Improvement Tip: Update your home's entrance.

The look of your front door and entrance play heavily into the overall curb appeal of your home. As visitors enter, the front door serves as the transition into your home and is part of their first impression. Entry doors are architectural components that should complement your home's overall design, not detract from it. If your existing front door isn't up to par, head down to your local home improvement store for a more energy-efficient and attractive replacement. Whether you choose a solid wood door or one with decorative stained or cut glass panels, a welcoming entrance will definitely increase your home's bottom line.

Royal blinds are a type of window blind that is manufactured in the UK by the Royal Docks. They are made with high quality materials that include aluminum, wooden, or fabric. The colors and patterns available are also very attractive.

Building a shelf thing to store containers in. Given the height of a single container, the finished shelve will have 10 rows and will hold up to 30 containers. This is the lumber after cutting to the required sizes.

I have really tall ceilings in my living room, so I hired painters to paint. Fortunately, I know a guy at work that works inexpensively.
