Ty Pennington who? Anyone can tackle common household problems with these goof-proof solutions.

1. Tiny holes all over your walls
TOOL: White toothpaste
FIX IT: For white walls, the solution couldn’t be easier. Using your finger, smear plain paste into the holes until they’re flush with the rest of the surface. Have a colorful abode? Wait until the toothpaste dries and then retouch the spots with matching paint.

2. A tired, old toilet seat
TOOLS: New seat, measuring tape
FIX IT: Measure the seat from front to back and side to side; then hit the home store to buy a new one. Unscrew the wing nuts (under the seat near the back of the commode) and ease it out. Slip your new seat into the empty holes and screw it into place.

3. Rusty stains making your sink or tub look totally tie-dyed
TOOLS: Zud cleaning powder (hardware stores or Amazon.com), light-duty abrasive sponge
FIX IT: First, dry the basin. Sprinkle Zud onto the rust. Moisten rough side of the sponge. Scrub until stains flake off in black chunks. Don’t get the sponge soaking wet or it will over-dilute the Zud.

4. Dresser drawers that stick; putting up a fight every time you need a bra
TOOLS: Unscented candle or WD-40
FIX IT: For wooden drawers that aren’t on a metal track, rub the flat side of a candle onto the bottom corners at the base of each drawer. Got hardware? Remove drawers and apply WD-40 to the track. Reinstall drawers.

5. Dark scuffs on walls and doors from daily wear-and-tear
TOOLS: White vinegar, water, light-duty abrasive sponge
FIX IT: Combine the white vinegar and water in a half-and-half solution; then apply with abrasive side of the sponge on all the marks. Rub softly to avoid scratching off any of the paint.

6. A sagging sofa that makes it look like Tom Cruise made a house call
TOOLS: Quarter-inch plywood sheet with a smooth side, measuring tape
FIX IT: With cushions off, measure the dimensions of the bed of your sofa (most are around 20� by 66�) and order corresponding plywood from a hardware store. Then place it smooth-side up under the cushions.

Need a step up from plain old paint? Give your walls an extra kick with a cool stripe.

You’ll need:

• Paint in as many colors as you plan on using
  
• Small brushes
  
• Drop cloth
  
• Blue or purple painters tape
  
• Level or yardstick

  1. Clear

  Move everything along the wall as far away as possible so you have room to work. Remove any hanging pictures, nails and outlet covers that are going to intrude on your stripe area and tape around any fixtures.

  2. Plan

  Assess your canvas and plan out where you want your stripes, how think you want them to be and what colors you want to use in which areas. If you're being precise, get out your yardstick and measure off your stripes. You can also go for a free-form look and have stripes of many widths.

  3. Tape

  Use your painters tape to mark the outside edges of the stripes. You'll probably not be able to manage one long strip of tape from floor to ceiling, so this is where having a level (and two people) comes in handy. Station one person on a ladder at the ceiling and have the other guide the tape down to the floor.

      If you're doing zig-zag stripes, or any other fancy patterns, make sure that your tape line is unbroken for the length of the stripe. If your plan includes stripes of different colors crossing at any point, choose which one you want on top. You'll only be able to do one at a time, working from the bottom up. When it dries, remove the tape and set up the next one.

4. Paint

If you're using a small amount of paint and have just a small container of paint, don’t bother with the paint tray and roller set-up. Just take the can in one hand and your brush in the other. Use long even strokes and apply the paint as evenly as possible. This is one case where you don't want to paint outside the lines. If you're using many colors, use a different brush for each one.

5. Repeat

If your stripes are pretty thin, they're probably dry by now, so you can give them a second coat. Repeat your pattern from earlier in the day. The next day, carefully peel up the tape and touch up any edge bits that got bumpy. Then you can stand back and admire your very own special effects.

Got questions on paint? We've got some too.

Q: How much is enough?
A: One gallon covers 350 square feet. Divide the total square feet (length times width) of your room by 350 for each coat.

Q: Can we paint over wallpaper?
A: Technically, yes. Strategically, no. You’ll see the seams unless you skim coat with a special compound. And you have to use an oil-based primer to seal the paper. There isn't a guarantee of no show-through, and it makes it harder to remove the paper later. If you’re going to do all that work, why not just remove the paper now with a chemical wallpaper stripper?

Q: How many coats?
A: If you’re painting over a white wall with another shade of white, one coat should be enough. If you’re painting over a color, you'll probably need two coats.

Q: How long between each coat?
A: A coat of latex paint dries in about three hours. It’s best to wait until your first coat is dry to start the next one.
