Promising review: “Used a little more than one roll for a quick makeover for an ugly fireplace in a rental apartment. It was easy to cover the tiles with the film, and I could stretch the film out about 1 mm if I had cut the strip too short. It makes a huge difference for minimal effort/price. I don’t think anyone would be squinting down at the floor to notice the slightly pixelated pattern.” —zhen

Masonry cosmetics, what a concept!

Promising review: “I had a brick repair on the wall in the front of my house. They did not match the rest of the brick at all, and I was embarrassed every time I walked past it. When I bought my kit, I didn’t know what to do with it at first, but I got great service. One of the Masonry Cosmetics guys helped me. I sent him samples of the brick and pictures and he figured out the stain colors for me. He also noticed something that I never would have thought of on my own: the mortar color was wrong and had me fix that first. Fixing that was the icing on the cake. Great product and even better service.” —Gabe Williams

black brackets that turn any door into a sliding door


Amazon

Some reviewers used this kit to mount their TV!

Promising review: “After begging for a barn door for a year my hubby finally caved. We looked at Home Depot and the doors with the kits were around $500. That’s ridiculous. So we came across this set and my husband bought the wood from HD. The whole project was a little over $200 and I couldn’t be happier. It’s beautiful. Yes, the wheels are plastic but they roll very smoothly. He did say hanging the hardware was the hardest part, I guess measuring it, but he was able to do it alone. So glad that Amazon is always there for us.” —Kimberly M

A wood filler kit ready to turn back the hands of time to before your cat went to town on all your chair legs.


amazon.com

The kit includes 12 filler shades and a brush.

Promising review: “This is super easy to use and effective for being so inexpensive! I am very impressed with how this fixed my chairs that my cat scratched up. Instead of spending $100 per new chair, I took a chance with this stuff and I’m so glad I did. You have to figure out what color matches your wood best — my teak chairs actually needed a slightly darker color or else the filler made the wood flat and more so like paint. When I went with the darker color it put the grain effect back on and looked natural.” —Sara Petrouskie

amazon.com

Aaaand might I suggest some chalk markers?

Promising review: “This is amazing and for such a cheap price! I was worried it wouldn’t work well or go very far so I bought three cans just in case. I was blown away by how well it worked, the quality, and how little we had to use. We turned a table into a chalkboard for our child, we put multiple coats on (3+), and only used half the can. The table is great and I am amazed at how well it turned out.” —Kate

An impressive (and affordable!) toolkit with all the basics so you can stop saying “do we have a Phillips-head screwdriver? No, that’s a flathead.”

a black tool kit with screwdrivers, pliers, hammer, wrenches, drill bits, and more


Amazon

This tool set comes with 148 pieces.

Promising review: “Not high end but why would you expect it for the price? I’ve spent years around high end tools and when I moved, I couldn’t bring my stocked tool chest with me. I needed something to have handy for when small projects popped up and this set does the job. Yeah, eventually I’ll upgrade or send my tools across the country but for now, this set suffices. Perfect for the weekend warrior. I’ve used it to hang my flat screen and to tear apart my PS3 to clean it out. A set that doesn’t advertise for more than it really is and for that I can respect it.” —Edward S

Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

Or a tech toolkit to help you repair all your knicknacks, gadgets, phones, and tablets. It has everything you need to tinker with anything from video game controllers to Apple Watches.

the tool kit


Amazon

Promising review: “I work at a college technology center and all of our IT techs use these tools. I liked my coworker’s set so much that I had to get my own for personal use. These are hands down the BEST tools for electronic and computer repair. The lid on the toolbox serves as a hardware/screw organizer and under the box is a magnetic pad that can be removed and also used to sort out tiny screws from a phone breakdown. Nice spudgers and pry tools too. Very convenient for lifting ribbon cables on iPhones. The jimmy is flexible but sturdy and great for lifting the chassis on laptops. The bits fit screws VERY precisely, even the pentagon! The type of steel these are made of feel very hard to strip out. These tools are worth every cent! I’d emphatically recommend!” —Clockwork_Viking

Industrial pipe shelving for an impressive and rugged look. Is this your living room or the hot new gastropub that opened down the street?

black pipes with four wooden shelves


Amazon

Promising review: “For starters, this is a nice clean shelving unit. It looks fantastic and wasn’t hard to assemble or install at all. I did have to take the top bar off due to my ceiling being lower but it still worked out. The only downside to this was the shelves just sat on the bars so they slid easily. But I went and got some tube straps painted black and put them on. Other than that, these worked perfectly for what my wife wanted.” —JC Springfield

Promising review: “As a new homeowner, I am learning things as I go along. I bought a condo that has very outdated recessed light fixtures (not to mention CFL bulbs!). I bought my pendant lighting before I realized I can’t just easily change them within an hour. Thankfully, after watching Youtube tutorials, it led me to this amazing product and I was able to install my pendant lights without having to pay an electrician hundreds of dollars to do it for me!” —Erika B.

A cabinet paint set because actually replacing your cabinets is super expensive. This half-measure will give you the newly renovated feel without the newly renovated price tag.


Amazon

The kit comes with two cans cabinet paint, a roller arm, two roller covers, and an angled paint brush; it requires no stripping, priming, or top coat or sealer, and there’s no need to remove your cabinet doors.

Promising review: “Amazing! Amazing! Amazing. Did take more than one coat though. My cabinets were bare wood and I still needed a couple of coats. (Five to be exact, but that was just me being extra.) My kitchen is medium-sized, not too big, and it only took up one can. But I still went over a couple more times just to get a nice coating. I also let it sit for some days and saw the wood was sucking up the paint in some areas so I went over it again. The project ideally does take one day like the promotion video says, but one day as in 24 hours. This took my kitchen from looking like a cheap rental apartment kitchen to a high-quality kitchen with just this paint and new knobs. The paint is perfect for cabinets — it’s not too thick, so you still see the wood grains. It comes with EVERYTHING you need. I didn’t have to buy a thing. The project is super easy, paint dries fast, and I did it at first by removing the cabinets but it wasn’t necessary at all. Just make sure you don’t leave any dripping because it would make your cabinets look cheap. I would recommend EVERYONE to purchase this and give your cabinets a chance before making a big investment in new cabinets. Wood is wood and it can be refinished.” —Brandon Moronta

Get it from Amazon for $69.95 (also available in gray, deep brown, mint, black, and white).

Promising review: “I stenciled an unpainted dresser for my daughter’s room and this stencil worked GREAT. If I were to do it again, I would order two stencils, as the repetitive stenciling began to clog up the stencil and the pattern became smaller and smaller as I worked — even though I tried to wash off the paint part way through the project. I used chalk paint, which is a bit heavier than your typical acrylic and I did the entire front of the dresser, not just a border.” —Little Kob

Promising review: “I’m surprised at how much I like this. I was afraid it would look cheap, but it doesn’t. From the outside looking in you don’t see the colors, but from inside when the light hits, it’s very subtle and pleasing to the eye. It’s perfect for that oddly sized window by my front door that I had to order specially made blinds for. Even then, I didn’t like the blinds closed, but didn’t like them open either. This solves that problem and was easy to put up with just soapy water. Big difference for little investment.” —Alice Wakefield
