Ready for a DIY home project? We’ve all spent more time at home than we ever thought we would at one time (yep, A LOT of time). Some good news? This has freed many of us up to get to working on some projects we just always said “one day” to.
Listen, we know it sounds like a great idea that just might go wrong. You may be thinking, where do you even begin? We understand that we all need a little inspiration and encouragement, so it’s really very convenient that we are an expert hype team!
A few of our homeowners have sent us some of their coolest DIY projects for you to drool over and hopefully make “one day,” today!
1. Build a Murphy bed
Need a guest room and an office? Build a Murphy bed and add a fun color to create an office space that will make working from home feel like your best day at the office.
2. Make a table
These homeowners found a way to save money on their kitchen table, while making something uniquely their own. Their kitchen table will now hold more special memories than something they could have found at the store.
3. Add a board and batten on your kitchen island
This easy DIY home project to your kitchen island can make a huge impact on the aesthetics of the room! There are several ways to go about this project. We suggest beginning with an online search so you can choose the look and level of difficulty that suits you best.
4. Fresh paint and/or hardware
A simple coat of paint and/or new handles and drawer pulls can completely change the look of a room, especially a kitchen. Whatever you choose, it just might encourage you to cook your next masterpiece!
5. Outdoor fire pit
Are you feeling like updating your indoor space might feel too risky? Start with a DIY home project for your outdoor space. A fire pit can be a great way to gather people in your outdoor space. It can also extend the time of year you enjoy the backyard, as it offers a source of warmth as temperatures begin to drop.
6. Landscaping
A quick trip to your local nursery, an unused wood pallet, and some planter boxes from Lowes or Home Depot will have you enjoying the good ole outdoors in no time.
7. Decorate the bathroom
Let’s face it, the bathroom is sometimes the only space you can find some alone time – especially in quarantine! As a DIY home project idea, we suggest you add some shelving for decorative items or candles along with greenery to have you feeling like you’re at the Four Seasons.
8. Stencil a wall
Have you always wanted to try a fun wallpaper in your bathroom, but you don’t want to actually deal with wallpaper? Have no fear! This homeowner used a cardboard stencil, a 1-inch angled brush and followed a template all the way down her wall.
9. Build shelves in the laundry room
Adding some shelf space to your laundry room is one of the easiest ways to get started in your DIY home project journey. Think intentionally about what would improve your laundry routine the most, and go from there.
10. Decorate the entry way
This homeowner made an impactful and memorable statement in her entryway with photos of her family’s history contrasted by a bold wall color. We’re not crying, you are…
