2 Hounds Design - Video Launch Coming to a Monitor Near You!

I will begin posting some how to's over the next little while!

From simple DIY issues to get your house show ready and increase it's value substantially:

- like leveling your cupboard doors in the kitchen

to

- putting a permanent end to the squeaky doors

As well, I will show you the tricks I've learned along the way:

- stripping popcorn ceilings

- wallpapering

- tiling

- replacing a ceiling fixture

- replacing a light switch for a dimmer switch

And for those who like to watch the design process:

- decision making: when you really want something but it is labour intensive and therefore cuts in to budget - but it will look Freak'n Amazing!! Should you or shouldn't you?

You will watch as I begin what should be a simple update of my front entrance. Currently builder basic from over 2 decades ago.

- Ripping up the old tile

- putting in new tile

- decision time on the labour intensive but oh so marvelous reno move...what COULD this be?!

- painting: decorative finish to keep costs down. Forgoing the wallpaper I want and recreating it with paint and stencil

- swapping out the existing lighting for something with a little more presence.

My Foyer Update will be a no budget reno for the most part. I will be scrounging for what I need and show you how to get the designer style with little to no budget...for REAL!
