hide the uglies... in the most recent issue of ReadyMade magazine they have an article called "Hide the Uglies". This article has been my saviour for my family room wall. There is the most unsightly thermostat plopped dead center of my wall. Because of its placement, there is no good area of the wall left to work with. That is until I read this article. All you need to do is to put something with relatively good depth (like a shadowbox frame) over the eyesore. My perfect fix is a 1930s vintage style clock. Now I don't have to look at that thing anymore and I'll always know what time it is. You have to love beauty with benefits!
Check out ReadyMade magazine. Its motto is "instructions for everyday life". They offer easy-to-do ideas for everything from entertaining to home decor. They also have a great green focus with many articles offering great ideas for repurposing or recycling items you already have around the house. Best of all, they have a great frugal focus so you won't break the bank.
