19 Handy People Who Can Turn a Barn Into a Castle

Many people feel anxious when they hear the word “renovation.” But you don’t have to spend a lot of money or hire a team of builders to make your home more cozy. Sometimes, all it takes is adding a few details or changing the color of your furniture or walls for the room to look completely different.

Sometimes just changing the curtains and removing unnecessary things from the room is enough.

“I had never done any DIY (didn’t know how a drill worked) and made a lot of errors. I figured it all out myself.”

“My new kitchen interior baskets — I crocheted them from natural jute.”

“I live in a rented apartment. I’ve had small kitchens before, but this is the smallest I’ve ever had. Decided to give my teeny-tiny kitchen a mini facelift!”

“Been living on an air mattress for 2 weeks while my things are delayed with the moving company. Scratched the nesting itch by hanging this wall of vintage pages.”

“Nothing like a cute little do-over to feel accomplished! My mom and I worked on this together.”

“Peel and stick wallpaper on cheap mirrors — pretty pleased with how it turned out!”
