7. A low VOC, low odor, water-based acrylic DIY paint kit so you can spruce up your counters with a faux granite look in just about a weekend's worth of work as opposed to the hellish weeks (or even months!) of work an actual bathroom or kitchen renovation would take. This paint is best for covering Formica, laminate, Corian, ceramic tile, butcher blocks, cultured marble, and traditional granite counters.

19. A peel-and-stick subway tile backsplash to give your kitchen and bathroom (or frankly anywhere in your place) a whole new look (with very little effort).
20. Or opt for a peel-and-stick faux-gel tile backsplash that's resistant to mold, heat and moisture, and offers a bolder, high contrast type of look.
21. A pretty hard to screw up liquid stainless-steel fridge kit that'll help transform the old fridge that came with your place into something that looks far ~cooler.~
22. A simple magnetic stove shelf to add some extra, ever-necessary storage space for condiments, spices and oils. Bonus points because it'll protect against food scraps flying into the gap between your stove and the wall, never to be seen again.
