Bridget Bodoano, author of "The Little Book of Quick Fixes for the Home Handywoman" (Quadrille Publishing, 2007), shares six simple weekend projects that will boost your handyman IQ (and the 'Wow' factor of your home).
1. Sort out your music collection by putting up a wall-mounted CD rack.
2. Revamp the bathroom by installing new bathroom fixtures including a fresh toilet-paper holder.
3. Make a coat rack by screwing a row of simple clothes hooks to a board secured to the wall.
4. Keep your bathroom tidy by installing a new medicine cabinet, complete with mirror for those essential make-up checks.
5. Avoid last-minute searches for your house, car, or bicycle-lock keys by putting up a row of hooks on a board in the hallway next to the front door.
6. Decorate your walls by at last hanging up those heavy picture frames or mirrors.
