50 Quick Home Improvements

The premise of this book is simple and straightforward: how to get the most dramatic results from a home improvement with the least amount of complication and work. Geared to the beginning do-it-yourselfer, the projects include replacing a faucet, installing a half shelf on a wall, changing the colors of an entryway for dramatic effect, building shutters or a window box, hanging a pot rack, and dozens of projects explained step by step, listing the tools and materials needed for each, and well illustrated throughout with clear drawings, diagrams, and photographs. You may not think of yourself as particularly handy, but this is the book that will prove you wrong and show that you can accomplish dramatic results in a short time all over the house, inside and out.
