You will need a drill, wall anchors, screws, and a level. What type of wall are you drilling into — drywall or concrete?

We rent drills for $25 a day, or a basic cordless drill starts at $50 to buy. If you plan on doing more projects, buying is worth it.

Sure. Drill a pilot hole, push the anchor in flush with the wall, then drive the screw through the shelf bracket into the anchor. It is pretty straightforward.

You will need paint, primer, painter's tape, a roller with an extension pole, a brush for edges, a paint tray, and drop cloths to protect the floor. How big is the room?

For a room that size with two coats, you will need about two gallons. If you are going from a dark color to a light one, get three gallons and use a tinted primer.

Three tips: use painter's tape along the edges and remove it while the paint is still wet. Roll in a W pattern for even coverage. And do not skimp on primer — it makes a huge difference.
