10 Easy Home Improvements
1. Painting is the easiest way to give your home a facelift. It is relatively easy, inexpensive and can make a huge difference in the way a room looks. It will look fresh and clean when you are done. You can also add crown moulding or paint trim a contrasting color to make the new color pop.
2. After you paint, replace light switches, outlets and plates. You will be surprised how much better a room looks when you get rid of those old and dingy switches. Many people skip this step and it just takes attention away from the clean feeling of a freshly painted room.
3. Replace old lighting to make the room look even better. Not only are newer fixtures more energy efficient, but they are also safer. If you are sensitive to bright lights, remember to select light fixtures that point upwards toward the ceiling, or that are encompassed in a frosted globe. Interesting lighting and fixtures can dramatically change the feeling of a room.
4. New shower curtain and bath mats in the bathroom can go a long way. Solid white makes a bathroom look super clean and bright. It even gives the illusion of space. You may want to paint the walls a contrasting, darker color to make the white really shine.
5. Tile a small room. It doesn’t take much time or money to replace a small bathroom floor. If you are new to tiling, do a practice run on a board in your garage or outside. See if you are happy with the results before you commit to the whole bathroom.
6. Replacing your front door can add value and beauty to the entrance of your home. It can also be better insulated than your old door and save you money on your power bills. Since the front door is the first thing that people see when they come to your house, a really nice one can have a big impact on how people view your home.
7. Replace blinds with shades or curtains to update the room. You can sew your own to create a unique atmosphere and save money. Drapes can be purchased with thermal backing to keep heat out.
8. Upgrade faucets in your bathrooms and kitchen. It makes your house look great. If you are having surprise company, quickly wipe down counters and your faucets will take attention away from other messes.
9. Clean house! Decluttering and getting rid of junk is the simplest way to make your house look bigger, nicer and more inviting.
10. Organize closets to finish off the home. Toss out old clothes hangers and invest in some high-end hangers. Use a special coat hanger for heavy coats to help them keep their shape and not end up on the floor. The wood hanger will make your closet appear orderly and streamlined. You’ll be surprised how much of a difference nice clothes hangers can make!

Sewing question EASY 10 POINTS?
If a shower curtain has a 2-inch sleeve does that mean that the rod the curtain is hanging on has a 2 inch diameter? If not, what does it mean?
What I meant to say was:
I am making a curtain (it actually isn't a shower curtain but I thought that would illustrate the the point better-evidently not) that is supposed to have a 2-inch sleeve. I need to figure out how to sew it but all it says is "sew a two inch sleeve." So how much fabric will I need to "sew a 2-inch sleeve"?
Shower curtains usually hang on hooks of some kind that then slide along the rail. If you made a sleeve for the rail, the curtain would all bunch up and not slide along the rail very well.
Also if the sleeve is 2" then a pole to go it in would need to be a lot smaller than 2" to fit inside it - it needs to be very loose otherwise it won't move.
Best thing to do would be to use normal curtain rings of some kind and use those little hooks to attach the curtain to the rings. That way it will slide open and closed properly and you can unhook it to wash it if you need to.
