6 Home Improvement Projects You Can Complete This Weekend
Stuck at home over the weekend with nothing to do? Our REALTORS® know how satisfying simple home improvement projects can be. Refresh your house with these easy DIY projects that can be completed in a day or two.
- Replace a Window Treatment
Kitchen window treatments are frequently exposed to grease, food splatters, and other substances that quickly have them looking shabby. Instead of resorting to pricey replacements at retail, make an inexpensive but stylish Roman shade. Use your own choice of fabric, and you'll get a custom-made look at a budget-friendly cost. Consider making two or three sets so you can change them up when you want some variety. - Paint Exterior and Interior Doors
Doors are primarily considered functional, but their size and placement means they can make a big impact on style. The front door is a major element in curb appeal, which is an important factor with Richmond homes for sale. And after painting interior doors, you'll be surprised at the difference it makes. For best results, remove the door from the hinges and lay it flat. Don't forget to clean and sand doors before you begin. - Install Open Shelving
Now's the time to find the solution to storing or displaying all those items you said you'd get around to "someday." Shelving comes in an endless variety of styles and colors to accent any decor. If you're feeling particularly creative, refinish some vintage shelves found at a flea market or resale shop. You could also go the extra mile and install floating shelves that don't have any visible brackets or braces. - Organize the Garage
Are you running out of room to store your car? Organizing the garage is a classic way to make good use of a weekend. HGTV and other home improvement websites are full of clever ideas to create storage using shelves, hooks, bungee cords, and other easy-to-install items. If you've always wanted to create a workspace in your garage, there's no time like the present. As a bonus, you'll be more motivated to work on other home improvement projects! - Set Up a Home Office
Technology has freed people from the constraints of a traditional office. Even if you don't normally work from home, everyone can use a dedicated spot for computer time and home administration tasks. Don't have a whole room to spare? All you need is an out-of-the-way corner, walk-in closet, or other areas that can accommodate a small desk and chair. Take advantage of wall space for shelving, baskets, and other organizational tools. Be sure to personalize the spot with a favorite piece of art or some framed photographs. - Add or Renovate a Backsplash
Backsplashes are one of the best ways to add visual interest to a kitchen or bathroom, and they're surprisingly easy to do yourself. There's a wide range of peel-and-stick options on the market to choose from. With a little research, you can come up with a "green" design to incorporate your style. Check Pinterest, Bob Vila, and other online sources for instructions on creating backsplashes from unconventional materials such as CDs, corks, recycled wood, pegboard, Mason jars, and bottle caps.
