With Father’s Day sales coming up (Sunday, June 19), I thought it would be a good idea to share my list of essential tools for new homeowners.

Marble Madness
Although I’ve already done plenty of marble DIYs (like marble and copper candleholders, marble photo stands, and marble geometric ornaments), I’m not at all sick of the material.
