This is one of the options that you may be able to use when you are loooking to modernize or upgrade your home.

I am disabled and am on a fixed income. So when I decided I needed new furniture for my bedroom it was clear that I could not afford new. So I took it upon myself to make mine look better. I just used sand paper,paint, spray on adhesive, glitter,,tash bags,and paper plates.
 1. Sand down the piece of furniture your are wanting to remodel
 2. paint the furniture and let dry completely
 3. put trash bags under the furniture
 4.spray completely with the adhesive
 5.pour glitter onto a paper plate.
 6.gently blow the glitter on tho the furniture

Anybody have good advice on cheaper ways to soundproof a room? I know stuff like that isn't cheap but there must be something that can be done to stop high end speaker systems from carrying all over the house and to the neighbor's home. On a similar note, I'm also interested in acoustic paneling if anyone has experience with getting the best sound out of a room.

I was able to mount my own TV to the wall and I walked around the house like I was king of the world for about three days after that.  It is still holding strong too, so from what I gather I saved a good fifty bucks or so.  I am always looking for things to do myself around the house, and the truth is is that with a little research and some know how you can really save a lot of money by doing things yourself.  Plus you learn a lot while in the process, so that is certainly a win win.
