Jump into January...

Don't let your DIY New Year's resolution be the one you don't keep. Often, you can radically alter the look of a room with just a modest investment of free time and some elbow grease.

From quick kitchen and bathroom makeovers, to decorative faux-finish painting and reproducing mahogany doors, small improvements can have a big impact.

So start right here. This newsletter is packed with know-how and techniques from some of my favorite "construction-less" remodeling projects.

And make sure to enter my Weekly New Year's Give-Away to help you achieve your 2012 DIY goals. Every week in January I will be giving away $1,000 in gift cards redeemable at thousands of home improvement retailers. Enter Now, and Happy 2012!
