Not sure what HIP TIPZ is?  Please click on Our Introduction to find out more.  Now, let's get down to business -it's time to roll:

 

HIP TIPZ #211

Do you have a large closet in the basement that isn't being used?  Install pocket doors on it, add cabinets, a counter top and mirrors.  You now have an instant mini-bar.  A creative way to give function to that unused space.

 

HIP TIPZ #212

Choose a favourite saying and purchase the lettering for it.  Affix the letters to decorative paper and have it framed for your bedroom.  Also a fun project for the kids.

 

HIP TIPZ #213

Build a wooden bench with cubby holes underneath.  Add an upholstered cushion and voila - you have a great seat/shoe storage area for your mud room.

 

HIP TIPZ #214

For a luxe library, cover the top 2/3 of a prominent wall in panelling that has been upholstered in cream coloured, tufted fabric.

 

HIP TIPZ #215

If your ensuite is large enough, add a well-lit seating area for doing your makeup.

Great Tips Charlene.  I am assuming the mustache is for Movember?  Talk to you soon.

Stupid me it says it right on your picture.
