Over the years I have shared a lot of DIY projects in my quest to turn our old fixer-upper I have into a home I love to be in.
And one major lesson I’ve learned is that you absolutely do not have to rip everything out and spend thousands of dollars to create a beautiful home. It is completely possible to transform your home on a very small budget, tackling one DIY project at a time.
If you are looking to make a change in your own home, one of these ten projects is a great place to start. These are ten of the most popular projects at Lovely Etc. and some of my own favorites as well.Some of these projects can be done in an afternoon and some take a bit longer, but all of them can be done on a tight budget, without any special skills.
