50+ Ways to Improve your Home This Weekend


This week marks 6 years of The DIY Playbook! Wow, the time really has gone by so fast! Since 2013, we’ve tackled hundreds of DIY projects in each of our homes and we’ve written over 1,500 blog posts. That’s a hell of a lot of home improvement ideas.

We thought it would be fun to compile some of our favorite tutorials into one big round-up for you guys to enjoy. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to do home improvement projects on the weekends and you just don’t know where to start. We encourage you to just choose one of these ideas from our list (some take less than 10 minutes) and give it a try this weekend. Accomplishing one small task will likely motivate you to tackle another and another. And before you know it, you’ll have tackled a lot of the projects on your home’s to-do list.
