Were Americans’ homes an ungodly mess a few years ago? So one might infer from the immense amount of home improvement people have undertaken in recent times. A new study by Scarborough Research finds that 65 percent of homeowners invested in some sort of home-improvement project during the past 12 months, up 18 percent from a 2001 survey. The main focus these days is the interior of the house, with painting/wallpapering the most popular type of work.
