HANDYMAN AT ROBINSONS Place Ermita recently held the Home Improvement Fair, which highlighted Handyman?s wide array of quality products.

The exhibit showed the use of Handyman items in practical but innovative ways in the home.

Partners of Handyman in the exhibit were Black & Decker, HCG, Royal Tern Ceramics, Akari Lights, Philips Lights, Stanley Tools, Do it Best Quality Paints.

During the fair, the book, ?Room by Room Makeovers: 27 Befores and Afters and 101 Tips,? a collaboration between Handyman and Real Living Magazine, was launched.

Over the years, Handyman has been actively supporting Real Living?s home makeovers. The stories of the successful makeover are collected in the new book, which is filled withpractical how-to?s and DIY projects.

?An ideal renovation is usually done per area or per room in the house. This way, the burdens of cost and time are not as heavy compared to a complete home renovation in one go,? said Real Living editor in chief Rachelle Medina.

?Handyman is happy to join hands with Real Living for the publication of this book which we believe will be a big help for those who want to refurbish their homes at affordable costs. It is packed with a treasure trove of ideas for homeowners,? said Stanley Co, general manager of Handyman.

Those who graced the launching included Willy Co, president of Handyman and Herco Trading; Anthony Allarey, commercial director of Black & Decker Power Tools; Norman Dy, president of NKD, distributor of Black & Decker Power Tools; Rachelle Medina; and Danio Caw, publisher of Real Living.
