DIY Help [interior Design]

In honor of the "Flipping the Bar" project we are in the middle of tackling (more to come in the year 2086 when we actually finish it) we decided to share some DIY tips from those more knowledgeable than ourselves.

This is a shot of our general contractor aka my dad getting ready to cut the studs out of the wall we are removing. This is the calm before the four-letter-word storm.

The Familyhandyman.com gives great tips on the following here:

• Mess-proof painting
• Pimple pads for paint cleanup
• Paint all four sides of spindles at once
• Paint pad for tight spots
• Elevate—then paint
• Release masking tape with heat
• Coat hanger drip stopper
• Tape with a knife
• Self-stick paint shield
• Cardboard spray booth
• Fresh tape

If something for some odd reason goes wrong with your DIY project then Apartmenttherapy.com has tips here on how to clean up DIY disasters such as:

• Blood from fabric

• Hot glue

• Super Glue

• Paint

• Straight pins and other fiddly metal bits

• Red wine

• Glitter

Feel covered now? Go ahead and get your glitter out.
