DIY Weekend Remodeling Ideas for Mother’s Day
If you want to get your home in shape for Mother’s Day, you do not have to spend a fortune, or a ton of time. If you have a free weekend, you can create a fresh new space in plenty of time for the big day.
By the time Mother’s Day rolls around, you will be able to celebrate it in a newly transformed home. Before you know it, you and your mom will be having a great time, and you can sit back, relax and enjoy the day in style.
Mother’s Day is coming soon, and now is the time to prepare. If you want your home to look its best on the big day, you need to think outside the box and use all the creativity you can muster. The DIY upgrades outlined below are fun for the whole family, and everyone, including your kids and your spouse, can get in on the action.
Spruce Up the Bedroom
You can give your bedroom a DIY makeover in just a weekend. Start by grabbing your paintbrushes and painting your walls a romantic color. If painting is not your thing, you can always cover your walls with nice tapestries that depict your personality. Simple things such as repositioning your bed, clearing up space in your closet or dresser as well as hiding your cords and disguise your router can make a huge difference.
If you want a more challenging DIY upgrade, you can even add a sliding barn door for a stylishly rustic look. By the time Mother’s Day arrives, you can relax and unwind with your spouse in your newly transformed space, enjoy a healthy breakfast in bed, or just lounge around and enjoy your special moment.
Update the Bathroom
You do not have to call a contractor to give your old bathroom a new modern look! Find three cool, vintage tin cans. Drill the tin cans side by side into a 2-foot piece of old plank. Then, drill the plank onto your bathroom wall. You now have a super cool way to store bathroom necessities like toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs and brushes, and Q-tips. You can even keep fresh flowers in one of the cans!
Look at the little details. You can update light fixtures, sink faucets, towel racks, and drawer pulls for a relatively small investment. These items may seem insignificant but updating them can make a big difference in your bathroom’s look. You can completely transform the feel of your bathroom, all in time for Mother’s Day.
Update Your Kitchen
Even if you are not cooking on Mother’s Day, your kitchen deserves a modern upgrade. Giving the cabinetry a fresh coat of paint is always a great DIY project, and you can get it done in just a weekend. Not game to spend hours painting cabinets? Quickly do a single wall instead.
If you’re irked by your kitchen’s decades-old light fixture, replace it with a colorful pedant. Since lighting is so important in any room, this one change can totally transform the entire space. Getting new handles and pulls is one of the easiest and quickest updates too.
Give Your Dining Room a Facelift
If you are planning a celebratory Mother’s Day dinner, you can transform the look of the dining room in less than a weekend. Update old dining room chairs with new fabric. A bold graphic pattern can bring a pop of color and life into a room. And the best part: It doesn’t cost a lot of money.
Dining rooms often have big windows and doorways with little wall space, which makes it easier to do a paint treatment on the walls. Let your imagination run wild: Try stripes, Venetian plaster, colorwashing or stenciling. When your weekend DIY project is complete, you can sit back, relax and welcome your mom with confidence.
Make Your Ordinary Living Room Extraordinary
You do not have to settle for an average living room; just use your free weekend to make it a truly extraordinary space. Start with a shutter console table to eliminate the clutter and give yourself a handy storage space, then use your old night stands to create stylish new end tables.
Once your furniture upgrades are completed, you can use the rest of the weekend to arrange everything into conversation pieces. Pull up the chairs to those new end tables, set out some of your favorite books and create a stylish reading nook just in time for Mother’s Day. You can also decorate with Mirrors. Designers often place mirrors strategically in small places in order to make them feel larger.
Mother’s Day will be here before you know it, and now is the time to prepare. There are only a few weekends between now and then, and you can use that free time to transform your entire house from top to bottom.
