Customizing your home with quality furniture and cute decorations is fun, but oh so costly.

My wallet trembles in fear anytime I even think about going to Ikea for wood furniture. You can build your own, but that could get pricey, too, if you’re not careful about what lumber you buy. That’s why two-by-fours are so awesome — they’re cheap, easy to find, and there are tons of cool things you can build with them.

Here’s all the proof you need!

1. Make some adorable seasonal decorations.

16 Uses For Mouthwash That Have Nothing To Do With Your Teeth

On today’s episode of “The World Is Playing Me,” we explore the wonderful world of mouthwash.

So how on Earth is mouthwash playing me? Well, it’s a two-pronged situation. One reason why I never buy mouthwash is because I feel like it’s pointless next to flossing and brushing. The other reason is that it costs money, and who even has that?

As it turns out, however, the burning, stinging blue stuff can be used for far more than freshening breath. For that reason, it has the potential to save all of us a ton of money. You win again, universe.

1. Dab some mouthwash on poison ivy irritation to reduce pain and inflammation.

2. If you run out of Windex and can’t look at those splotches on your bathroom mirror for one more second, put mouthwash on a damp cloth and wipe them away.

3. To neutralize and even prevent bruising, apply mouthwash to the affected area.

4. You know mouthwash helps with garlic breath, so why not use it on your hands for the same effect? Rub a little bit into your skin and keep it movin’.

5. Dealing with nail fungus? No problem. Let mouthwash help you out. Mix equal parts vinegar and mouthwash, soak a cotton ball, and apply to every funky nail. Use a different cotton ball each time.

6. In that vein, use mouthwash to help get rid of athlete’s foot by using the same cotton ball technique.

7. Because mouthwash was first used as a surgical antiseptic, it’s safe to use alcohol-based, sugar-free mouthwash to clean out minor abrasions.

8. Mix half a cup of water and half a cup of mouthwash, massage the mixture into your scalp, and say goodbye to dandruff.

9. For DIY toilet cleaner in a pinch, pour some mouthwash into the bowl and let it sit for a half hour. Give it a brush and flush the mess away!

10. Protect plants from fungus by giving them a little drink that’s 25 percent mouthwash and 75 percent water. (Just don’t do that more than once a week.)

11. If your cats have a thing for peeing on all of your stuff, mix one cup of water with three tablespoons of colorless mouthwash, pour it into a spray bottle, and use it to get rid of the scent so your kitty doesn’t revisit that area.

12. Apply mouthwash to blisters once a day until they’re gone. Menthol will numb pain right away and thymol will speed up the healing process.

13. Bring some shine back to dull tiles by creating a solution with two cups of water and half a cup of mouthwash. Use any mop or cloth to give them a good scrub.

14. When you’re not using your humidifier, things can get pretty yucky inside the machine. Clean the device by running it with some water and a few spoonfuls of mouthwash.

15. This one’s especially great if you have kids and pets. When your laundry is feeling particularly scuzzy, add a cup of colorless mouthwash to the load to sanitize that nonsense.

16. Reduce underarm odor by patting a little mouthwash on your armpits in a pinch. If you just shaved them, be prepared for some major stinging.

So guess who’s been wasting money all along? Me. I just keep on losing, friends. Have you tried any of these tricks for yourself?

He Needed To Store The Finer Things In Life, So He Built These Awesome Shelves

googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); );

With a bookshelf full of my mother’s favorite cookbooks and cabinets full of her Tupperware containers, it’s a bit embarrassing to admit that there isn’t much room in my kitchen for the more important things…like a little booze action. We tend to keep our selection of fine-ish wines sitting atop the fridge.

While in a similar boat, Redditor Palletize chose to be proactive and created these awesome liquor shelves using miniature pallets. I hope he doesn’t mind that I’m stealing this idea and trying these out in my own home!

Using a reciprocating saw, he dismantled larger pallets to create multiple shelves at once.

He assembled the shelves using the original nails and nail holes from the pallets for a more rustic look.

21 Awesome Ways To Use Chalkboard Paint Around Your Home...They're So Creative!

googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); );

I’ve always loved chalkboards — minus that horrible screeching sound that happens when they’re raked with fingernails, of course.

They’re so much more fun to draw on than simple paper, and admit it: We all feel pretty cool when we use them. Plus, the possibilities are endless when you can erase what you create as much as you want.

Speaking of possibilities, I had no clue the number of creative things you could do with chalkboard paint until just recently. I’m now convinced that there’s really nothing that can’t be made better with a coat of the stuff. If you want to add a little creative flair to your home, check these projects out!

Instead Of Tossing This Old Washer Drum, He Used It For An Awesome Summer Project

Because I’m still living the apartment life, I have yet to experience the horror that is watching an expensive appliance that I bought with my hard-earned money break right before my eyes. Redditor Ministry_Eight, however, was not so lucky.
