While many of us are skipping the traditional post-Thanksgiving shopping spree this year, there’s still plenty to look forward to in the Sling TV Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. Watch your favorite shows on Sling, which brings live television to your TV, laptop, or phone without cable prices.

We know you’re eagerly anticipating all of the Christmas specials (looking at you, Lifetime movies), especially while cooped up this winter. Sling can swoop in to save you from restreaming old episodes with all the channels you need and none of the ones you don’t just in time for the holidays. The sale has started, so you don’t have to wait to begin watching. It’s three simple steps to unlock shows, sports, and content.

For this Black Friday deal, you’ll also get a free AirTV Mini streaming device with your Sling TV subscription when you pay for your first month. It’s the best way to hook Sling up and bring it easily into your life. AirTV Mini is compact, so it will fit into your space and won’t ruin your aesthetic like a bulky cable box. The dongle connects to your TV and gives you quick access to Sling, Netflix and other apps available from the Google Play store to watch your channels, movies, or listen to music.

If you already have one, you can choose another Black Friday sale option. Since Sling is available on other devices with the internet, you get to continue your shows even when you’re not on the living room couch.

When you sign up, you’ll choose between the Blue and Orange packages for $30 per month (or get both for $45). Football fan? You’ll want to go with the Blue package, which includes NFL Network but also has the Bravo, E!, and TLC. This package also works for multiple devices at once, and it’s perfect if you don’t always like the same things as everyone in your household.

Orange is great for anyone with kids as you’ll be able to catch up on the latest from Freeform and Disney. Or you might grab this option if you’re a sports megafan, since it includes ESPN as well as ESPN2 and ESPN3. And you can always add channels to customize your package. No matter which you choose, you’ll be getting dozens of new channels to find your next show.

Whether you’ve already said goodbye to cable or are looking for ways to free up your budget, Sling brings you all the channels you need over the internet. Give yourself the gift of more content to binge watch for the holidays this year by locking in a Black Friday price and completing your TV setup with the AirTV Mini.

Happy streaming!

This unique wall design will make you rethink wallpaper
Wallpaper frames? An interesting concept to consider for your home
Geometric wallpaper with a console table

Wallpaper is becoming trendier in today’s home design, but some people aren’t ready to take the leap and wallpaper an entire room. This DIY project shows how you can add more visual appeal to a room using wallpaper ideas like creating individual "frames."
How to create this framed wallpaper look
@olivebranchcottage on Instagram shared a neat DIY wallpaper idea that she calls "wallpaper rectangles." This fun twist on adding traditional wallpaper to a room helps add visual appeal without being overwhelming. Here’s how she did it.

Pick your wallpaper
First, @olivebranchcottage suggests picking your wallpaper. In the nursery she designed, she opted for a black-and-white pattern depicting nature scenes.
Choose your trim
To create the "rectangles" on the wall, you’ll want to choose some wood trim. The creator chose some from The Home Depot.
Paint the trim the same color as the wall
Next, you’ll want to paint the trim the same color as the wall tone. This creates a greater sense of flow once you add the wallpaper.
Use painter’s tape to outline your design
@olivebranchcottage used painter’s tape to outline the design. This makes it easy to move pieces as needed and readjust until you find what is right for you. Also, she notes that the size and spacing of your rectangles are entirely up to personal preference. For the nursery, @olivebranchcottage placed the tape 5 inches from the ceiling and 5 inches from the baseboards.
Add your wallpaper
The creator suggests using a laser level to keep things even and straight as you place your wallpaper.
Cut your trim pieces
To cut your trim pieces, measure them to the same length as the painter’s tape you used for outlining. The Instagram creator says a 45-degree angle is best.
Use a nail gun to attach your trim pieces to the wall
Using a nail gun, attach your trim pieces to the wall. You should do this after you’ve laid your wallpaper. It’s OK if the wallpaper goes beyond the painter’s tape outline you created.
Cut the excess wallpaper
Once you attach your trim pieces to the wall, you can use an X-Acto knife to cut off the excess wallpaper. After you cut all the edges, you’ll have a stunning wallpaper design.

Install antique barn doors

Everyone loves a good barn door home addition. If you’re looking for a way to spruce up your closet space, consider installing antique barn doors on a sliding rail.

Additionally, you can choose to keep the doors open for a framing effect around your closet entrance or close them for a decorative door look.
