Restore Your Walls with Simple Steps
So your wall looks like it’s been through a bar fight with a wrecking ball. Fear not—you don’t need to call in a home renovation TV crew. Just channel your inner DIY superstar and grab a putty knife like it’s Excalibur. Scrape away any flaky paint or crusty bits that look like ancient fossils, then slather on wall filler like you’re icing a cake—but, you know, one you plan to paint over.
Once the wall filler has dried (resist the urge to poke it every ten minutes), sand it down until your wall feels smoother than a jazz sax solo. Then paint away! Not only will you save enough money to treat yourself to lunch, but you’ll also gain bragging rights every time someone compliments your freshly rehabbed walls. “Oh this? Just a little handiwork I did between laundry cycles.”
