243 Ways to Paint, Craft, Update & Show Your Home Some Love

The appeal of John & Sherry Petersik is their bright and cheery "You can do it!" attitude, and how they chart their journey from know-nothing paint-happy first time homeowners armed with paintbrushes and enthusiasm to ‘been there, made that’ DIY devotees. Their now-archival blog houses most of their projects and lots more of their zingy writing (Sherry especially). I’ve also read their second book, Lovable Livable Home, but YHL in my opinion is more appealing and engaging because they talk about problems they encountered in their homes and how they handled them as opposed to presenting design tips that anyone could give or look up. YHL is more creative and down to earth, but most importantly all of the projects and ideas are do-able, and the authors are very relatable.
