House

A funky black-and-white accent wall transforms a simple, small bathroom.

If you didn't believe in the transformative power of paint, this project will convince you.

Sarahli Wilcox, a DIY influencer, used secondhand tiles to create a mosaic-style flooring. It saved her gazebo’s concrete flooring and only cost $400.

The biggest piece of the project cost just $160.

No natural light? No problem.

TJ’s Dwellings & Designs needed to take an “outdated” bathroom and turn it into a personality-filled space that could work as both the primary and guest bathroom.

Low-cost updates made a huge difference in this dated, smelly bedroom.

This sophisticated redo was completed in phases over two years.

A little DIY and some smart shopping totally transforms this living area.

This redo proves you can go a long way on a small budget.

Updating the surroundings allowed the bathroom's retro charm to come through.

It has a high-end look without the high-end price.

A few DIYs and some smart shopping turned this blank slate dining room into an inviting hangout.

A stick-on backsplash, contact paper countertops, and a portable dishwasher make the space way more functional before a major renovation.

The hack these DIYers used on their old 1990s vanity will blow you away.

The project came to life little by little over the course of six months.

It's hard to believe it's still the same space.

One intrepid DIYer gave her father-in-law the gift of a gorgeous and functional entryway.

A smart paint job takes this once-boring fireplace front-and-center.

"Waking up in the space and watching the light filter in through the large windows has become a simple pleasure that I always relish," the homeowner says.

And it's still filled with vintage charm.

The unexpected paint job gives the vintage living room a completely new look.

This kitchen transformation proves that small changes can make a big difference.

It was a forgotten two-foot space, but now it's a breath of fresh air this spring.

It's "almost like gaining a new room to the house," the homeowner says.

The after perfectly blends style and function.

The "after" will make you gasp.

Kara Hobbs used a few existing items from the room and added bold colors to create an engaging space to rest, read, and play.

This might inspire you to choose an electric color for your next set of built-ins.

The "after" feels like a breath of fresh air.

A walk-in closet is a hot commodity. Obviously, if you draw that dream ticket, you'd like your walk-in closet to actually be functional, not just a large room of minimal organization opportunities.

It's amazing what a few basic swaps can do.

“We transformed a yard with a chain-link fence and no privacy into an oasis,” says Rebecca Taylor, a food stylist, photographer, and content creator living in Ojai, California, with her partner, Max. Over the past four years, they’d been slowly remodeling their 1960s ranch-style home, but their overgrown yard became neglected while they focused on making the inside of the house a place where the three of them (including their dog, Oli) could start a life together.

You can see this dining room from almost every point on the first floor, so it was important for the design to pack a punch.

A gorgeous fireplace gets a glam, modern refresh to tie the whole room together.

Small DIY changes went a really long way in making this 1977 house look totally fresh.

Long live the lawn flamingo!

The homeowner wanted to combine color and comfort.

So long, stained shower.

A cool design tip to steal from this bedroom? The new paint color is custom color-matched to the wallpaper.

The after puts the “modern” in mid-century modern.

“We wanted to transform the space into a whimsical, inviting oasis that welcomed guests and made them feel at ease,” this DIYer says.

“You don't always have to renovate a space to make it look pretty,” this homeowner says.

The Michigan-based interior designer hand-painted a floral design on her bedroom walls — adding a stunning detail to her creative, lived-in family home.

The “after” feels like an oasis with blue tile and lush plants.

This DIY was totally beginner-friendly.

Before, the oatmeal-colored walls made the whole room feel dark despite its large windows.

And it cost a fraction of a professional custom install.

The new vanity is a game-changer.

After a few DIY changes, this new-build bathroom looks nothing like the neighbor’s.

The “after” adds color and drama but still feels bright and cheery.

The new, bold design incorporates some of the old furniture.

“The cottage’s original details had been completely stripped away,” the homeowner describes.

“I wanted to renovate my whole bathroom one day, but doing this definitely saved me a lot of money,” the homeowner says.
