There are endless ways to update your home, many of which you can do yourself. It's amazing how just about anything around the house can be completely transformed with a little time, creativity and planning!

  6. Hi Julie,

    I love the beadboard trim around the bathtub idea. My bathroom would be so improved by that. The only problem is that my bathtub isn't straight - more like this. Do you think this is still doable?
