This tiny A-frame kitchen’s redo is timeless and small-space efficient.

It’s so whimsical.

“I had an apartment before where I just did a rectangle on the wall, and I LOVED how it looked,” this DIYer says. “Now that I have my own house, I knew I could get a bit more extra with it.”

“From execution to completion (dry time), it only took us about 36 hours or so,” this DIYer says of this beginner-friendly project.

It all started with a marigold velvet sofa!

My kitchen cabinets desperately needed a new look, so I put three reversible transformations to the test.

The cabinets may be new, but they’re designed to fit in with the architectural details of this 1926 home.

You probably didn’t know you could have a greenhouse kitchen until right now.

You’ve heard of mid-century modern, but have you heard of modern-meets-mid-century? This kitchen redo is inspired by the ’60s but fit and functional for the 2020s.

Are entryways the new powder rooms? (Which is to say, the new secret spots to go bold and create a jewel box within your home?) This entryway redo suggests yes!

A low-budget IKEA product, plus a little bit of paint, were the perfect sleek solutions for an awkward spot in this house.

Make your home more comfortable and functional.

“I always really wanted to add open shelving, but didn’t think it was possible because we were renting,” this DIYer says. Using about $200 worth of materials, she proved herself wrong.

When you live in a small space, you see every inch of it regularly. And when some of those inches are more cluttered than you’d like them to be, it can be stressful — or just monotonous. See how one renter went for a maximalist-but-streamlined change of pace.

Who says appliances have to be just black, white, or gray?

“By using the existing materials in this space, I saved a ton of money, and let’s be honest – who wants to gut an entire bathroom?” this DIYer says. “It’s dirty and dusty and takes FOREVER. Updating a small bathroom with accent walls is a budget-friendly way to add character.”

When these owners purchased their caravan, it was in much worse shape than they first thought. A complete overhaul brought it back to life.

The color combo makes this kitchen feel extra inviting.
