I recently had the chance to try out these really neat DIY cornice kits from The Cornice Store. First of all, let me tell you: This was pure fate. Serendipity of the window coverings! I had been planning to make my own cornices for the kitchen. I had already purchased the fabric. I had pitched […]

Last week I had the chance to have a little chat with HGTV’s Scott McGillivray and pick his brain for some of his best income property tips. Cause, you know, this is what I do now. I have celebrities call me up on the phone all the time these days. That’s just everyday life when […]

I’m about to show you something. If you’re a serial DIYer like I am, it may just change your life a little bit, especially if you’re a bit on the impatient side.
