Hello friends! Hope you’re doing well in this crazy time. My husband and I both work from home, so this hasn’t changed our day routines too much! But with our son out of school, we do have a bit more free time than usual.
I’ve been trying to focus on completing little projects I’ve been putting off forever. It got me thinking of some of the DIY/home projects that could be done with what you might have at home already.
If so many of us are home more than usual, so let’s take advantage of it, right? I gathered a list of ten home projects to work on during this time at home all day!
1. Spray paint something
OK, you may not have the big spray paint stash I do, but even if you just have the basic black and white (you can order it online), you’d be surprised at how much you can change things up!
This mirror used to have a wood frame and the lamps used to be shiny brass:
2. Rearrange furniture
This is by far the cheapest way to change up a space. I don’t do this often — in both of our houses I’ve found a set up I like and stuck to it…forever. Ha!
But even a simple thing like switching out chairs or tables will freshen up a space:
3. Organize
This one is a given, right? I always feel like making our storage spaces work better this time of year. This is the perfect time to get to those spots that have always driven you crazy:
4. Printable art projects
You know how much I love free printables! They are basically free art — and spring is a lovely time to add some color around the house:
5. Fabric projects
Have you had fabric tucked away to make those curtains or pillows? Now is the perfect time!:
6. Declutter/edit
Not sure there’s a better time to address the clutter. It will free up space in your home (even more important now that most of us are home more!) and it feels SO GOOD to get rid of stuff.
I promise you it will lift your mood! Do you really need 150 markers?:
7. Rearrange accessories and art
This doesn’t just work with furniture! Mix things up — try your accessories in different spots. Change up the decor on your bookshelves:
8. Paint something
Anything! Walls are a given, and make the biggest impact. But if you don’t have a whole gallon of paint you can still paint your interior doors:
9. Deep clean
Have you seen that meme going around? 😂
10. Scrap wood projects
This is one of my favorites because I keep a large scrap wood stash. It’s REAL hard for me to let go of wood.
Try building some easy picture ledges:
Or a tray for the coffee table or ottoman! I made this HUGE hideaway tray for Legos years ago:
Hang in there — take it one day at a time and keep busy!
