Okay I’ll be honest here. About the only time I go to Home Depot is when I need a new garbage can, but I know there’s a lot of people out there who live for this place. Well here’s some coupons and deals to make your Home Depot fix a little bit less expensive…

Hot Home Improvement Ideas for 2008

  • Build Underbed Storage. This simple idea not only looks great, it gives you more storage, and less clutter!
  • Spruce up your walls without paint or wallpaper! Hang some curtains on a wall instead of a window, or try some simple decals. This is a quick easy fix to boring walls!
  • Jazz up rooms quickly by adding new hardware, cabinet knobs and even lighting fixtures. If you can’t afford to redo or replace these items, sometimes just adding new fixtures will really make a difference!
  • Give the bathroom a new look by getting a new toilet seat, toilet paper holder, or even adding towel racks. You could outline your vanity mirror with some wood trim to make it pop, or add some funky wall stickies for a fun look.

It’s nice to be a homeowner, but it’s also a lot of work. The new gnomestead is slowly coming together. We’ve accomplished most of our “move in” goals, although we’re still searching for a good local (Seattle) contractor to help us with a few of those last mile tasks. Seems all of the good ones are busy! We had the House Doctors come out and assemble a bid, but they wound up asking for twice as much as what it might normally cost. They’re reliable, but I don’t know if Ponzi and I are really in a position to pay a premium for that.

This past weekend, the live studio audience saw me install a wall-mounted ironing board. I was supposed to attach it to a couple of studs, but there were no beams where my wife wanted it to go. I did my best with their installation kit, but wound up hitting Home Depot for some angle brackets. They looked pretty damn ugly! Eventually, I decided to paint the entire thing – since it didn’t match our white trim, anyway (even though I thought I had ordered a white one in the first place).

So, then we painted and chatted and set up a conference call and chatted and painted and watched paint dry and chatted some more. Actually, it was me who was painting – and everyone else who was discussing my painting technique. I think I did a pretty good job, all things considered. I’m also happy to say that someone forgot to hit the Record button to document the entire ordeal. I had several “Oh, Fudge!” moments – only I didn’t say Fudge.
