1. Paint A Room Or An Accent Wall

Painting a room or wall may sound like a tough job, but it can make all the difference and can be knocked out in a day!

2. Switch Out Cabinet Hardware

This one may sound too easy, but we promise it can be the thing to turn your kitchen from average to awesome!

4. Re-Paint A Furniture Piece

Have a vintage chair lying around? Or pick up something eclectic from a garage sale this weekend? Pick up the sandpaper and a paintbrush and give a piece a furniture some new flare.

5. Apply Smart Tiles

This one is new for us too! There is actually tile that you peel and stick! This one is great for the experimenter who wants to really try something new in their kitchen or bathroom.

6. Hang Shelving

With the right tools, hanging shelves can be a breeze! Bring that empty wall to life with some evenly spaced shelving for your mementos!

Pallets are usually something you can find laying around or maybe your local hardware store might even hook you up with a couple free ones! This project is great and only requires a couple basic woodworking tools to transform any patio space.

8. Change the legs

Swap the legs out on your old coffee table or end table for a new look! It’s simple and will take you close to 10 minutes.
