Upcycle for the new year with home renovations

Tamika Fletcher, owner of Natural Resources Salon, shares some do-it-yourself advice for people who want to redecorate for 2013 without breaking the bank.

Fletcher presents kitchen accessories like pot holders, refrigerator magnets, table mats, and rugs. She also demonstrates ways to reorganize your jewelry and wardrobe without having to invest in new furniture.

For anyone wanting to "go green" for the new year, Fletcher offers advice on "upcycling" old books into boxes, light fixtures and more. For example, old book pages can be transformed into lampshade covers, paper chandeliers and so much more.
