It went from overwhelmingly blue to a cool and modern green, black, and white.

The new space feels lots bigger, even though it's the same size as before.

This paint-filled makeover has one of the coolest fridge transformations ever.

The remodeled bathroom features a few small-space tricks you'll want to borrow.

Strategic DIYs gave this once-blah bathroom lots more charm, including a seriously cool custom mural.

The before looked more like a demo site than a kitchen — but the after is a dream cook space.

It's now a much better focal point.

An aunt created a brand-new, totally cute and chic bedroom for her niece that can change as her style and interests change.

And more stylish! The blue and white DIY tile is a must-see.

A bed without a headboard can make the whole bedroom feel imbalanced, lackluster, and a bit like a temporary college-type setup, but some bedrooms definitely pull off the cool and minimalist no-headboard look. To combat feelings of incompleteness or flatness, those successful no-headboard beds are typically framed by some sort of feature wall, artwork, sconces, or statement-making end table-lamp combos.

Another highlight: Countertops that look like marble, but cost way less.

"I was ready to call contractors and start adding square footage to our room because it felt so cramped," the homeowner says, but a few smart design changes made it so that she didn't have to.

This airy, spacious redo will win over even open concept skeptics.

This renter wanted to add some detail to her dining area, but there wasn't enough space for a buffet or other table, and, as a renter, she couldn't find any removable wallpaper she loved.

Before, the homeowner's laundry room "was dark and cold with no windows," she says. Now, it's a black and white beauty. Not to mention, it's much more functional.

The "After" puts a modern twist on pastel-tiled bathrooms of decades past.

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

The space features glimpses of the original brick, which runs three layers deep.

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

These DIYers started with found furniture and ended up with a beautiful new console and a faux fireplace.

As expected with such a precise pattern, the hardest part of the project was taping and measuring.

Sixteen weeks of hard work turn a cramped kitchen with a strange layout into a sleek cooking and dining area full of modern touches.

Woodstock-era inspiration and beautiful boho touches take this mobile bedroom from brown and drab to bright and modern.

You know the saying: One person's trash is another one's DIY project in the making.

Now, the home's original features truly sing.

The original Craftsman details sold this DIYer on her home, but they needed some major restoration work.

A summery, stylish IKEA hack done in a day? Yes please.

"Oh it was BAD bad," the homeowner says of the electric-orange before.

They even function with a secret feature!

"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.

This kitchen may be mostly white, but it's still packed with personality.
