Default VERY GOOD IDEA...I think!

I am certainly not on your level of do it yourselfness, but we did a lot of things in our new house ourselves that others hired done. We painted and installed cabinets in the laundry room and I made draperies and my husband installed blinds and drapery rods.

WE really like to do things ourselves if we can, just for the pure feeling of accomplishment, I guess. (PLUS, it really saves money!)

I think it could somehow be in the same group of listings as decorating a home. Kind of a HGTV for TV. (Home and Garden for The Villagers!)

EVEN if you don't do it completely by yourself, it still is interesting to me, and I bet to a lot of us, to see the things that people have done by themselves or even hired done to make their homes better, more interesting, comfortable and beautiful.

JUST edited and added....Does anyone know how to get the windows here CLEAN without streaks? I have tried Windex and dishwashing liquid and water, both work for me up North...and still when the sun comes in they look all streaked.
