How to Easily Fill Nail Holes in Your Wall

Even small spaces can eat away at you in a big way, especially if it's something you look at every day. For me, that was the shelving in my bathrooms. Both the guest AND the primary bathroom had open shelving. Sure, I could stuff it with baskets or other decorations, but it just never felt like it would be enough. Plus, DUST-- need I say more?
