A SILVER LINING

If your appliances are starting to look like they came from the set of "Sanford & Son" I might have the tip you've been looking for to give that old face a new lift. Joan Rivers does it every other week, so why shouldn't you? Thanks to the folks at Taylor Gifts (and the inside info from my friend Jerry) for under $20 you can transform an old drip of an appliance into something hip. For every bad appliance there's a silver lining...well, a roll of silver (stainless-look) adhesive paper, that after a few simple steps will take the drab to fab. While I wouldn't suggest this for a mansion in the hills, if you're trying to sell, tired of the old and can't afford new or just want cheap thrills, peel away and you too will applaud the grey!

TIME TO COMPLETE TASK: Thirty minutes to install on a standard size refrigerator

COST: $19.98 at http://www.taylorgifts.com/ (if you plan to purchase more, google "taylor gifts coupon code" for up to $25 off your order!

STRESS LEVEL: Ending the whining by finding a silver lining: LOW
