Promising review: "I absolutely love this backsplash!! It was easy to install and looks like real tile once it’s on the wall! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to add backsplash to an area of their house while staying on a budget. It will turn out looking great! JUST A NOTE: We used an adhesive spray to to make sure the tile stays in place. Better safe than sorry!" —Anna

Promising review: "These peel-and-stick kitchen tiles really brought new life to my plain kitchen. The entire job took about two hours being careful and making sure everything matched up perfectly. They were a little bit difficult to place, but the result is amazing." —Nicole J

Promising review: "I absolutely love this lamp. I am so happy I splurged because it is exactly what I wanted. You can easily dim the brightness as needed, or if you wanted to just take off a ring to dim the light, that works too! I love this lamp and am so happy I bought it!" —mary

Get it from Amazon for $74.99+ (available in three finishes).

Promising review: "These are beautiful! I saw them and decided to take a chance and order all the covers I needed for the kitchen. I recently moved and live in an older house that has some updates, but the switch plates have not been replaced (or probably cleaned) in 30 years. It’s a country-type kitchen with real wood cabinets, and I wanted something that enhances the beauty of the cabinets without being too modern. These are PERFECT. I'm very happy with how it all looks. I even bought two more plates for the dining room light switches." —Frenzied Mom

Get it from Amazon for $6.48+ (available in a variety of styles and in a three-pack).

Includes two 31-oz. cans of Nuvo cabinet paint, one roller arm, two roller covers, and two-inch angled paint brush. Each covers 100 square feet of cabinet surface.

Promising review: "This product was super easy to use. We went with the tips in the reviews and bought nicer foam rollers specifically for cabinets and I’m so happy I did; it made it so we barely had to use a brush because of how the foam rolls over the side. We also took the doors and handles off, which I recommend also. It definitely wouldn’t have turned out as nice if we left them on. This took four coats and five in the larger areas (i.e. next to the fridge, etc). Our kitchen took two kits, but was well worth it and still way cheaper than the quotes that we got from professionals. It totally changes the feel of the kitchen and it looks SO MUCH BRIGHTER! I would say give yourself a few days to knock this out as it took us several nights to finish. But would highly recommend." —T.J. Sarnese

Promising review: "We recently purchased a new home, and we're not gutting our main bathroom until next summer, but I just couldn't live with that 1980s green counter another day. So after reading a lot of tutorials, I decided to go for it and paint the counter. I LOVE how it came out! Once it was dry for 24 hours, I applied several coats of poly and let it sit for 72 hours before I let the counter go back into normal use. It's held up like a dream." —Mistella (This reviewer left a super in-depth review, so check out the rest of it here for their tips and tricks.)

Promising review: "I love a good showerhead with great pressure and a wide flow pattern. This showerhead delivers just that. I moved into a new house and immediately replaced the standard showerhead with this one. I'm very happy with this purchase. I installed it on the original pipe and did not use an extension pipe arm. It's got all the water pressure you'll need." —DeeOz

Promising review: “Very impressed with this couch especially for the money! We put it in our Airstream trailer, and it has taken the design to another level. So happy we pulled the trigger on this. I also like the color; it's unique and funky. It is firm but still comfortable.” —William Skiles

Promising review: "These are great frames that take the legwork out of finding a coordinating set. Great neutral colors, perfect for many decor styles. They came very carefully packaged, and included a template to help hang them. The frames are also perfect width to use Command strips to hang, if you want to. I loved them so much, I bought more!" —M Zierke

Promising reviews: "This product was wonderful. I painted some of my kitchen cabinets, and I converted a mirror into a chalkboard. This worked perfectly fine." —Supernovaink

"We got new garage doors, so I took a panel of our old garage door and made a yard sign with the chalk paint. I prepped the surface very carefully and painted when I had ideal outdoor painting temps. The paint was easy to use and went on smoothly. It's been outside for a month and has lasted pretty well. I think it looks great!" —Jean-Jeannie

Get it from Amazon for $9.05.

Promising review: "Living in Hawaii you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt–proof, etc... In total I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —Adelia

Get 10 tiles (covers 10 square feet) from Amazon for $73.79.

Promising review: "For under $100 and I redid my entire bathroom! We moved into our home two years ago and our small main floor bathroom had hideous orange mosaic tiles. We want to eventually gut and rehab our bathroom but wanted to give it a cheap facelift. Floorpops made that possible and a very inexpensive option! We used caulk to seal some of the tiny gaps and caulked around the tub and underneath the baseboards for a good seal. The tiles are not moving at all and have adhered OK." —Agnieska

Get it from Amazon for $13.01+ (available in gray and black and in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I love the design, and the look has really brightened my home office. I ordered two packs and ended up only needing one, but I also only put them up on two of my four walls. This was a great buy!!" —tictoc82

Promising review: "Ah-maze! They're super soft and luxurious feeling. The color is great and jazz up any room. Great value for the money. They do a great job at darkening the room, too." —Nayonna2001

Get them from Amazon for $36.95+ (available in 7 sizes and 27 colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love these curtains. They are exactly the color I needed. However, potential buyers should note that they are very sheer curtains. Personally, I wanted them to be sheer and love them because they allow so much natural light to shine through. If you are looking for a fuller curtain to filter out some light, I would suggest buying two sets for more volume." —Vottie

Several reviewers have use this as a lampshade for standing and desk lamps, too!

Promising review: "Perfect! I love this lamp shade. I have three of them now and they look amazing. I use color-changing bulbs in them and I get so many compliments, especially when I turn the light bulbs to pastel shades. It looks so beautiful and elegant that it looks exactly like the $200 version." —Julie Pinto

Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and love seat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz

Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in 5 sizes and 21 colors).

Promising review: "Looks absolutely beautiful in my baby's room! Difficult to line up at first but after the first few we got the hang of it. I will say the pattern is very forgiving. Some areas didn't line up perfectly but you cant tell at all. It was definitely worth the frustration because I'm so happy with the finished product." —Julie

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review (mid-century legs): "These legs were the perfect addition to our newly reupholstered 55-year-old mid-century modern couches. Sturdy and beautifully finished in a gold/brass color with nice mounting plates. After replacing the half-century-old wooden spindle legs, the couches no longer wiggle when you sit down and are ready for another 55 years." —P L Priestley

Promising review (modern legs): "These are gorgeous! Love them! I'm using them on a kitchen island I built, and they are exactly what I wanted! I just ordered another set. Very sturdy, very well made!" —Edee

Promising review: "I love my new console. It is a great combination of rustic and modern and looks great in my apartment. I assembled it myself and soon realized I’d accidentally interchanged two of the pieces. In my opinion, this is easy to do even if you are being very careful. The numbering is very subtle on the wooden backdrop for many of the items. I recommend doing this with at least one other person, because the asymmetrical geometry of the piece make it difficult to align when screwing and hammering. Luckily for me, a few friends were overtaken by a newfound industriousness after a bottle of wine, and they helped me to reassemble it correctly. I truly love the piece and any difficulty with assembly is by far worth it!" —Julia K.

Promising review: "I’m so obsessed with these chairs that I dedicated a post to them on my foodie instagram😂 As soon as I had assembled the first one, I hit 'order' on a second one! These chairs are so easy to put together, and the pink color is such a cute accent in my living room. It makes such a different in my apartment. Love love love!!" —Shelley Awe

Promising review: "I really wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this divider only because I live in a rather larger studio with about 9- to 10-foot ceilings, but I have to say, this room divider breaks up my apartment perfectly! And it looks GREAT! There was zero assembly, it’s lightweight, and well-made. I am so happy." —Amanda

Promising review: "I do not have the money for a new vanity right now. Insert DIY project to cover my ugly pink bathroom vanity with marble contact paper. It looks 100% better and it’s super durable. It’s a little tricky to work with at first and then you get the hang of it. I’m buying more for my half bath! My vanity looks so great that I decided to do the tabletop in my laundry room, and that looks great, too!" —Natalie Evans
