Painting the rooms in your home can create a whole new look! But, no amount of paint is going to cover up those unsightly holes in your drywall!
You can repair most holes yourself just using some drywall compound. Use a utility knife to cut away any loose pieces of the paper and remove the loose drywall from the hole.
You will need to put something inside the hole to support the compound. If the hole is fairly small, you can wad up pieces of old newspapers and put them inside the hole.
You can also use pieces of cardboard that are cut longer than the hole, but narrow enough to slide back into it. Make a hole in the center of the cardboard, insert a string and knot it so that it won’t slide out.
Attach the string to the wall with a thumb tack or some tape to hold it tight against the inside of the drywall. Using a putty knife fill the hole with drywall compound, smoothing it out as much as you can.
Once the drywall has completely dried, cut the string off as close to the drywall as you can with a utility knife. Now you’re ready to sand the area and paint it!
Add a Temporary Guest Room With a Sofa Bed!
A sofa bed is a huge improvement over the old roll-away beds we use to have in case over-night guests showed up! They have also came a long way in both design and comfort!
Years ago there was few choices when purchasing a sofa bed, but manufacturers have expanded their lines to meet today’s needs! You now have many styles to choose from and no one will even know they’re sitting on a “bed”!
Shopping for a sofa bed is pretty much like shopping for any other sofa. You need to make sure that the sofa is the right size for your room and very comfortable to sit on.
You should always pull the bed out to make sure that it slides out easily. And, lay on the bed for a few minutes to make sure that it’s actually comfortable.
Another thing to consider when purchasing a sofa bed is the construction. Like any other regular sofa, joints that are nailed, stapled or glued won’t last long.
