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

- 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!

Cool! Looking forward to seeing what you've got to share with us and hopefully learning a few tricks of the trade.

Dane - Love the new photo!!

These are going to be extremely useful videos for homeowners. I can't wait to see the video on stripping of the popcorn ceiling.

Another good one would be "how to strip wallpaper" or "how to strip a border" as there are so many homes (at least here in the south) that need it.

Good post, Dane. Can't wait to see all of them.

Hi Emma, I hope so too!

Thanks Kathy! Those are great ideas and there are far too many here with the paper and/or boarders here as well.

I've done the first video stripping the ceiling. Now I have to figure out how to edit it and get it loaded to the internet! I'm sure this will take longer than stripping the popcorn.

Next video will be repairing the plaster!
