My True Value:	Cashman's True Value Hardware in East Berlin, PA
Favorite True Value Product:	You can almost always find me in the paint aisle!
Best Quick Tip:	If you're looking to dive into the DIY arena, I would suggest buying a quality brush and learning to paint. Almost anything looks better when freshly painted in a pretty color.
About:	I've been writing my DIY/home décor blog for almost three years, but have been refinishing furniture, sewing and decorating for about 13 years. My specialty and the thing I enjoy this most is furniture makeovers, specifically with paint. I started shopping Cashman's True Value Hardware in East Berlin, PA, when I won the DIY SOS Disaster contest in 2010. They were amazing to work with and special ordered anything I needed to finish my bathroom renovation. We've since become loyal customers.

My Kitchen Counters

Before I get into my counters, I must share that progress was finally made in my half bathroom. Remember? The one that was a disaster and True Value came to the rescue? They've done their part, but it seems like life and my work keep stalling things on our end. It seems like there are always more pressing things to work on than a half bath in a house with two other toilets. Last night, those two functioning toilets fell to just one. The pipe that drains all of the plumbing from the upstairs was clogged and it was beyond our ability to repair, so we needed to bring out a plumber. I didn't want to miss an opportunity to get something done and suggested we have him install our toilet in the half bath while he was there. (It was complicated because of the new height added by the tile.) Surprisingly, my husband agreed and now we are back to three working toilets.
