About Me:

My name is Tyler! I am 19 years old. I am deaf and I was born deaf. I have this device on my ear that can help me hear, I also were raised by hearing family. I went to oral deaf school because they teaches how to talk. So, I can speak and hear as well as hearing people do!

Favorite area of home improvement:

I am majoring as photography and minoring as advertising. In the the ages around 30s, I am going back to college to become a web designer and minoring advertising. Around age of 40s, I am going to college to major as graphic designer and minoring advertising! Also, I will be taking regular classes to learn how to do some interior designing for homes. (not a college classes) also, I am doing the same for gardening, so thats the way I can have a successful future with 3 jobs and be able to accomplish my dreams. My dreams is living a beautiful beach house. It takes a lot of time but I am very good with designer stuff. I really love this website. We ALL are never too old or too late to go college to accomplish our hopes and dreams! :)

Christmas Lights!

Hello!

I haven't been on here like forever! I totally forget about this website! Well, I have whole a ton to put up! I could use one each day.. LOL! Today, I was sooo bumped that Christmas lights have to take down.. so, I bought some lights, and use this as my creative idea.. I don't like light bulb! I got this icicles light ...»

from thrift shop next to where I live, ONLY FOR 10 CENT!!! I also, bought a 6 Foot Christmas Tree with only 3 pieces attachment, instead of 30 pieces! Has lights on already! Also, it came with tree decorations, and 2 exhaustion cords, ALL FOR 10 CENT!!! I was soooo thrilled because everything for 10 CENTS! They were telling me how they want it GONE! So, I said, I'll TAKE IT before someone else! SO MUCH BETTER THAN MY MOM'S!! Shes jealous! ;)

So, I used the tree decoration that I bought from a thrift store, and use it for my idea!Let me know what you think! I LOVE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!

My kitchen also in attached to a small dining area with no natural light as well. My small dining area also goes into a big family room.

Adding Leather on the chair

Hello!

I am going to drop the porch ideas, until next spring. It sucks! ...»

Also, my fall/winter project is adding this leather to the chair and adding more fillings inside. I got this chair from craigslist for free! WHOO HOO!

So, My plan is removing the blue fabric, and fixing more woods to make it more modern. Adding leather on it.

but, I would love to hear some tips, and advice, I need to research of knowing how to add fillings, leather, etc... to make this chair into a beautiful looking. This is our first chair with ottoman!

here is a picture of a chair I got from Craigslist... and at least, I want the chair to be just like the brown one, not JUST LIKE IT, but similar. I wanted to be sure my mom likes it, and if not, I will sell it for extra more money for hard work!

    If I were giving this advice to myself, I would say "take it to Jose at the Upholstery Shop" ...»
    (of course my upholsterer is very cheap and would probably charge me $300 for both pieces)! That's quite an undertaking for a first project. Would love to see how it turns out....you are certainly more ambitious than I.

Porch Lights.

Hello!

Haven't been on here for long time!

I just wanted to say, this is the project I am working on. I washed the ceiling, it looks the same as it was before! (LOL) but I changed the light. I found this white curtains at the garage sale. 10 for 3 dollars, it was a pretty good price, I used one for the lights, I cute it into 4 long row. Then, wrap it around (sort of) I need to use more fabric, for middle part and more ...»

around it. Then tada! This happened, I honestly think it is so much better than the lights I had before.

Questions: Do you think it looks better than before? What should I add for the middle part? Is there anything else I should add? Any suggestions? :)

Furniture Revivals: Sheila..anyone....my desk needs help?

Hey Sheila or anyone, suggestions for what to do with this very worthy desk. Hard wood, no staples, no nails in drawers. I don't like the hardware, and the carpets are , almost ...»
immediately following this post , being replaced with beige, to tie in with the other carpets and floors etc. So red and green are not the predominant colors. I am a "little" tired of red and green. Bur I love the light green on the wall. Included is the picture of my living room.I am trying to switch to steel blue and having a hard time. I almost always go to aqua.

I want some fun with this desk. Sheila, I love what you do, so am imploring you..but anyone can chime in! Like I said this is a worthy desk. I watch this tv from the kitchen (galley style), and hubs puts his shoes on here. hahaa
