Can't miss projects including: hack a mattress into a couch, fix a broken super hero with no glue, install a rainforest showerhead, fix a totaled car, hang your bed from the ceiling, perform reconstructive surgery on your suitcase, and so much more.
There are chapters on the yard, office, kitchen, garage, bedroom, bathroom, living room, laundry room, dining room, and kids' room. Improve, fix, and organize every room in your house.
This book is so cool! I can't wait to delve in to some of the projects. I can't begin to tell you everything that is in the book. However, a few of the items that catch my attention other that what is already mentioned are:
