Lifehack: break a chair, spraypaint it gold, cover it in fake fur, and call it “high-end”

Oh here it comes, here it comes!!!! YES! At the 2m14s mark! That's it! The mother of life hacking! Sweet ambrosia! Smear that poo poo on everything to hide your lack of craftsmanship, to cover dings and dents, to freshen up things yellowed and worn!

(it will dry, shrivel and crack over time and start peeling off, and that goop will collect grime and dust and will foul and yellow faster than the paint around it yet will resist painting over it, slowly and subtly transforming your house into a greasy blotched testament to entropy, like the face paint of a syphilitic clown ask me how I know these things)

Those jars with what appeared to be vinegar (probably apple cider, good for health hacks) sprayed on them or some poo poo made no sense to me.

If you've never seen one of the many, many house flipping shows on HGTV that's basically a condensed version.

The bathtub was my favorite because it in no way looks like anything other than an ordinary bathtub with fake rocks glued to it. They didn't even have them go up the entire side!

Right. "What the seam to throw, it covers the Pig." Google translate really nailed it this time.

Btw have you tried GISing for glasses lately? Truly the language of hacking.

E: nm, that was Swedish apparently. Apparently Swedes have some erotic hangup on glasses, where googling for big glasses would give you gay porn, and now searching for glasses gives you a dick for nose.

It's more a matter of over-application, the "more marble more CLASSY!" mindset.

Matte or satin black is fine, but shiny dark brown plastiwood is ugh.

Lifehack: make up your own form of shorthand that even you can't read. A former (repoter) coworker at the newspaper did, to make it easier to transcribe interviews, and it mostly worked, with him reading his notes to me in the car on the way back to the office, hoping I (the photographer) could fill in the bits he couldn't read.

*ahem* It seems that you missed the true lifehack, which is write illegibly so you can make poo poo up as you go later, referring to your toddler scribbles if somebody asks (they won't). Reporter hack ...or hack reporter :iceburn:

:agreed: also it just looks stupid as gently caress on a microwave, an item which has never been made of marble ever

i re-did a lovely table for my vanity with matte black legs/sides and a faux marble painted top and it looks cool af though

I had to rage close the tab when she got to the bunting. THAT'S NOT A HACK, THAT'S JUST HOW YOU MAKE BUNTING!!! gently caress!!!

Also who the making GBS threads gently caress decorates anything by making emoji plates and gluing them to a curtain??? Who ARE these people???

Yeah I mean some of that stuff could really be fun for a 6 year old's birthday party but it was clearly meant to be just everyday decor.

Edit: I'm not being sarcastic btw. Despite cakes featuring heavily in several shots, you know drat good and well someone who spends seven goddamned hours hot gluing giant flowers is planning to keep it up on the wall forever. The cakes are just there to make you feel like she's less crazy.
