It doesn't sound like a lot, but that little bit of counter space transformed how I use my kitchen.

They bring tons of character to this DIYer's bedside area.

Each of these makeovers used adhesive elements to add some pizzazz to a wall, upgrade countertops, give bathrooms a pop of color, or achieve something equally transformative.

They got rid of wallpapered walls, linoleum floors, and an old oak vanity.

A bed without a headboard can make the whole bedroom feel imbalanced, lackluster, and a bit like a temporary college-type setup, but some bedrooms definitely pull off the cool and minimalist no-headboard look. To combat feelings of incompleteness or flatness, those successful no-headboard beds are typically framed by some sort of feature wall, artwork, sconces, or statement-making end table-lamp combos.
