MyFixitUpLife’s Home Work is a weekly guide that takes care of your home.
Every week we feature home fixes, maintenance tasks, and design inspiration for a different part of the home or yard.
We’re guiding homeowners (and renters) on when it’s time for seasonal home maintenance and gardening to when it’s time to start updating outdoor spaces and guest rooms for holiday visitors, plus we’re dedicated time to painting, composting, deck building, caulking, and everything in-between.
And during the holidays, we’ll be sharing a few of our can’t-live-without inexpensive handy helpers so you know what to buy that favorite tool aficionado for a holiday gift.
