Beyond the Basics - flea market finds

So many beautiful silver heirlooms or decorative glasses! But what to do with them? Use them for storage. The interesting glassware can be used to house toothpicks or become a fancy spice container. The lovely silver sugar bowl and creamer can be used to hold q-tips, cotton balls or decorative soaps in the bathroom or on your vanity. Use a decorative tray as a base and you can set up a beautiful display in a guest bedroom or bathroom.

Who doesn't love the "Dummies" series of books?! They're easy to read and so informative! Here's a great one that includes how to fix minor issues with electrical, plumbing, doors, windows and small appliances, to name a few. It also gives you tips on hiring a professional when you just can't get it done yourself.
