High DIY tasks and makeovers of 2024! 

I’ve gathered my greatest DIY makeovers accomplished in 2024 and what I hope to perform this 12 months! 

That is all the time a enjoyable put up to write down, because it makes me really feel tremendous achieved after a VERY lazy Christmas break. 🙂 I tackled a bunch of huge tasks final 12 months and am tremendous happy with what I created. 

1. Linen closet redo 

Since it is the season of decluttering and organizing, let’s begin with the closet that was an enormous ache in my butt for years: 

SO a lot better! I added a fairly contact to the again wall with some leftover wallpaper. It is a candy trace of coloration once you open the door. 

2. Essential bed room makeover

The factor was, I did not need to take away the grasscloth wallpaper I had put in on a lot of the partitions. We nonetheless appreciated it and I knew that will be means extra work to take away. 😉 

After just a few extra DIY tasks (painted dresser and DIY TV body), the makeover was full: 

These adjustments made such a giant distinction! This room is SO a lot brighter and contemporary feeling now: 

The ceiling could also be a challenge for this 12 months!

3. Brightening up the eating room 

Our eating house is one other space that was feeling heavy…so I lightened issues up a bit. I LOVE the deep blue paint coloration (known as Our on-line world) I utilized in right here: 

However the room was feeling closed in…I knew a lighter coloration would open it up. 

4. Basement bar/kitchenette construct 

Final 12 months I lastly completed up a room I constructed from the ground up: 

This was an unfinished spot in our basement that was meant to be a kitchenette. We thought we would get to it fairly rapidly after shifting in years in the past, so we did not even have carpet put in in that space. 

5. Painted trim to match the partitions 

I painted the entire door and window trim with a semi gloss paint and we LOVE the colour drenched look: 

6. Workplace/library challenge 

I nonetheless have a bit to do in right here, nevertheless it’s tremendous shut. It appears to be like completed at first look, in order that’s a win. 😉 

Now my plans for this 12 months! 

1. First up, I clearly have to get the workplace accomplished. 

This is my to-do checklist!

• End the molding set up and paint. 
• Line my drapes to beef them up a bit. 
• Redo my little printer desk. I might like to attempt taking it down to reveal wooden to stain it, nevertheless it has a ton of element so I am going to should assume on that:
  

2. Lavatory makeover. 

I have been eager to deal with our basement lavatory FOREVER. I had plans to start out it final 12 months, however then the kitchenette/bar took like three years to finish. 😆

My plans for this house: 

• I might actually like to vary out the ground tile. It will not actually go together with the look I am planning for this room, however tearing out tile is a MESS and changing it’s not a lot enjoyable both. We’ll see what occurs…if I do change it out it could be step one on this makeover. 
• The partitions are going to be darkish and moody…which can slot in completely with our cozy basement. I’ve a enjoyable mural deliberate for the lengthy wall behind the door. 
• I might like to exchange the sink cupboard, possibly with one thing freestanding like this vanity with brass legs. However man, they’re so costly!! 
• We use the cupboard space beneath the present vainness, so if I do change it out I am going to have to create storage someplace to make up for that. 
• New, chunkier baseboards and crown molding with end this house up! 

3. Handle the storage areas in our residence. 

We’re SO fortunate to have loads of closets and storage areas in our home! It simply bugs me that they do not perform as greatest as they will. 

My first spot is the nook in our basement the place I’ve saved our residence decor objects, {hardware} and candles…issues like that: 

• Step one was a HUGE declutter. I stored a variety of this stuff for years figuring out I could need to use a few of them in particular locations like our basement bar shelving, or my workplace constructed ins. However now most of these tasks are completed up, so I do not want/need most of what’s left. 
• I have been arduous at work on that already and about 60 % of the objects in that photograph are gone. It feels SO good to decrapify!! I will be updating extra about that quickly. 
• I might prefer to drywall over the insulation — not even positive I am going to tape or mud. Simply closing up the partitions will do wonders in right here (and forestall the insulation from getting caught on the whole lot). 
• I need to create everlasting shelving as a substitute of the plastic models. Deeper cabinets up in opposition to the partitions will give us extra space and be simpler to entry. 

In the event you’ve been studying right here for some time, all types of different tasks will come up all year long! DIYing our house is my ardour and I respect that you just comply with alongside!
