If you’re preparing to put your home on the market, you’re probably thinking of how to present your home in the best light for potential buyers. Your space should be clean, orderly, and presentable so that buyers can envision themselves making it their own, and often, homeowners are advised to skew more neutral in their design schemes.

How I Painted a Cement Birdbath

I bought a cement birdbath about a month ago from Walmart. I've always liked birdbaths, but have not owned one due to the cost. The ones I've seen in the past have always been over $100 and I just didn't feel like spending that kind of $$ on one.

Do I take it back to Walmart and hope they have another birdbath I liked? I forgot to mention that this was the only one in this style… or do I keep it and try to fix it?

He even brought home two grinding bits that I could use with the drill. Even though the package didn't mention cement or concrete, I was so hoping they would work.
