We asked Frank Turco, Senior Manager, Trend and Design, Home
Depot Canada
, for ideas on simple ways to update our pads this
summer. Herewith, his five tips on how to go from drab to fab with easy
projects that can be done in one day max.


1. Change up your kitchen by pulling off the cabinet doors for an open
storage look. For added punch, apply a sheet of bright wallpaper or a
bold paint colour to the inside of the cupboard.

2. Have fun with your staircase by adding a new finial to the banister.
Go bold with a glass globe or change up a modern setting with a rustic
pick.

3. Boring bathroom? Add glass mosaic or textured wallpaper to one of the
bathroom walls. Turco recommends spicing up the wall behind the toilet
as its often overlooked.

4. Shine up old furniture with a high-gloss gold spray paint or the
easy-to-use stainless
steel paint Rust-Oleum
.

5. If youre a condo dweller, make your concrete-floor balcony more
inviting by placing weather-resistant Enviro-Tiles made from recycled
rubber tires (18x 18, $8.99 each).
