Do it Yourself Home Improvement Projects

Do it Yourself Home Improvement Projects
30 May

Are you thinking about opening up your living room, changing your floor or maybe even painting a room? It might seem like an impossible feat in the beginning, but once you learn how to DIY, you’d be surprised at just how much you can do yourself. The added benefits of DIY include, saving on costs and saving time. Here are some DIY projects that you can finish, and be proud of.

Mini Bathroom Makeover

It might be tempting to have a plumber come in and change your sink and faucets, but this could be something you may consider doing yourself. Changing a faucet isn’t as complicated as you may think. There are several YouTube videos on how to do this the right way and on a budget.
Another thing you can do in your bathroom is to replace a countertop sink with a new vanity.  After you’ve painted the walls and picked out some new handles, mirrors, lighting and towel bars, you’ll be happy with your new updated look. You’ll be even happier knowing that you did it all by yourself!

Choose Wallpaper Over Painting

If you’re in need of some new paint for an old room, consider using wallpaper instead. Some would say this is more cost efficient and easier than painting an entire room with multiple coats of paint. Wallpaper is long-lasting, and simple to put up by yourself. Using wallpaper can bring out a drastic change to any room. Start with a single wall and see if you’re happy with the design before proceeding with the other walls. After a little bit of wallpaper, primer and your time, you’ll be happy that you were able to turn your dull walls, into a room full of life.

Adding Trim to a Room

Adding trim to your room can make it look more modern. This is a job you can DIY. Don’t worry about cutting the perfect lines every time as you can fill your errors with joint filler. If you’re up for a bigger project, you can make a chair rail and add some crown molding as well.

Revamping Your Garden

DIY projects aren’t just for the indoors. Starting a garden is another small project that can have a big impact. Move larger plants to a new space, or split them and create a new garden bed. You could also create a veggie garden by making a raised bed with 4 2×4 posts and squaring them off.  A little color here, a little greenery there can make your garden look updated and give your house a great look overall.
