Just today, I repainted one entire peeling and dirty wall in a bedroom and repainted the window trim and baseboard trims in the living room, all in under 2 hours! It was a hurried quick fix, but ...
Wow! Not my personal taste, but such great use of space and the WIC is to die for! I am flirting with the idea of buying a smallish (650sq) apt fixer upper right now and you make me believe it's p...
