Turn your old furniture into a new piece with a stroke of a paintbrush

What do you think of when you see leftover tin cans? An old paint bucket? Or that cool wine bottle you can’t bring yourself to throw away? They belong in the trash, or maybe the recycling bin, but why not instead get a little crafty and upcycle them!

Fix It EnterprisesHost Tati Amare chatted with Lou Manfredini about how you can fix up your home for the fall. Manfredini suggests using Miracle Sealant like the professionals. For tile, Manfredini suggested Tub and Tile paint that allows you to put a whole new surface on the tub and tile. Manfredini suggests Quick Seal which has a lifetime guarantee against mildew and mold. Once you’re done you can spray down your tile with Concrobium Mold Control to fight against any mold or mildew.

Tati Amare spoke Erika Woelfell with Behr Paint and Sarah Fishburne from the Home Depot about the new colors out now that give your home that much needed revamp. For this new color collection, Behr focused on giving homes a feel of elevated comfort. They have released six new color themes to help everyone achieve this feel. These themes range from calm tones which feature nature inspired colors to subtle focus which has a wide range of pastels. Woelfell and Fishburne recommend simple DIY projects like painting a small space or just a piece of furniture.
