Unexpectedly Simple Home Renovations That Can Be Done Over The Weekend
Still haven't started that long home renovation list? We can't blame you. Making changes to your home can be a huge ordeal, both in terms of financial cost and the cost of stress, but there are a surprising number of easy projects you can do yourself at a fraction of the price! Say goodbye to your weekend — and hello to a new home.
1. Make a Picture Ledge
To clear up space without throwing away the things you hold dear, make your own picture shelf. This is best for people familiar with woodwork — and for those with a free weekend to complete it — but once the shelves are done, your room will be picture perfect.
2. Upgrade Stovetop Background
To really help your kitchen pop, throw in a backdrop by the stovetop. Either peel & stick tiles, removable wall paper, picture frames, or paint will do the trick — whatever tickles your fancy to make it fancy...or whatever style you're going for.

3. Milk Paint
Some of us are lucky to have furniture that lasts ages, but the downside is having your home's style stuck in the past. If a piece isn't broken, though, just revamp it with milk paint! This DIY-er used the natural paint to give a new finish to her chair.
4. Create a Couch Sleeve
The struggle with small spaces is deciding what to cut out to save space. You want that comfy couch, but also need a table for drinks and food. Why not have both? Make your own wooden couch sleeve and you can have that cake and eat it too, literally.
