YOUR PLACE SPEND A LITTLE OR A LOT.

Byline: Jaime Spangrude

The following items are sure to make a great addition to any home:

BARCALOUNGER AMERICANA WING BACK RECLINER: Kick back and relax with this comfy leather match recliner. It's 40 1/2 inches tall and 36 1/2 inches wide and comes in red or brown ($1,099.99). Robinsons-May stores.

REPLICA: This hand-built and hand-painted Army Jeep replica is modeled after the original Jeep vehicle and has moving wheels and a collapsible windshield. Pop the hood to reveal a functioning clock ($45). www.jeep.com/gear.

``DECORATING JUNKMARKET STYLE'': Sue Whitney and Ki Nassauer provide loads of photos and step-by-step instructions for 20 decorating projects with repurposed junk. The experts also show you where to find good rubbish and how to seek help from the pros when you need it (Meredith Books; $19.95). The pair will sign their book at 9 a.m. Sunday at the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena.

PINPOINTING THE PROBLEM: Got a light that inexplicably turns on by itself at night, or wallpaper that just doesn't seem to want to stay stuck to the wall? If so, you could be a candidate for a new Do-It-Yourself Network (DIY) program that will feature local homeowners with household mysteries. To apply, e-mail the show producers at hdproduction(at)aol.com. Be sure to include an address, phone numbers, e-mail address and a brief description of the problems and how you have tried to fix them. If chosen, DIY will send a certified home inspector to your home, determine the problem and then bring in the pros to fix the situation.
