There is something incredibly satisfying about spending a weekend on home projects. It could be updating furniture, clearing out cupboards, and doing a little bit of The Home Edit on it, was simply rearranging things.
For example, on a Friday evening, sitting down with one of your favorite books in a chair that you reupholstered can be an incredible feeling. It’s one of those satisfying feeling when you know that you have accomplished something that you intended to do for a while and have finally managed to do it.
Weekend projects can give you something to look forward to after a week of work or study or both.
Here is some great weekend project for you.
Welcoming entrance
When you come home, you want to be greeted by something familiar and something comfortable. But you can also turn your home entry into something beautiful too.
Try to make sure that you have things that you enjoy looking at and looking after. Often entryway to our home can get neglected and piled up with shoes and bags rather than with the things that we like to look at.
Here are some colorful and fragrant plant options for your entryway.
- Begonias
- Hydrangeas
- Dwarf butterfly bush
- Ferns
- Marigolds
You could also paint your front door to a color that you enjoy if you own the home. If you are part of a housing association network or a shared building, you might have to ask permission to do this.
Recaulk
If your bathroom and kitchen have seen better days, it might be time to recaulk. If the caulk in your bathroom is starting to look a little bit cracked, discolored, or even a bit moldy, it’s time to give it a refresh. Most likely, the area that is around the bathtub, the shower, and the sink has a little bit of mildew too.
This is often caused by leaking water, and most people have it, so it’s nothing to worry about.
You can usually quickly remove the old caulk and then replace it with a new layer. You might decide, however, that you want to replace either the sink in your kitchen or your bathroom, in which case Allora USA probably has what you’re looking for.
When you reseal anything in your bathroom and kitchen, when done correctly, it can last up to 10 years.
Rearranging your cupboards
If your cupboards are a little bit messy, it takes you too long to find what you are looking for. It might be time to redo them. If you want some inspiration about just how beautiful cupboards can be, then head over to Netflix and watch The Home Edit. You can get a bunch of tips and tricks about how you can make the most out of your cupboard space, with some at creative, clear storage.
There is also a range of Pinterest ideas that can help you find small home projects to fill up some of that weekend time. When we craft with our hands, it can often be very therapeutic too.
