Hang ArtworkHang Art on stairways or exposed attic easements.

Make a statement with your favorite paintings, drawings, and photographs by massing them on one wall. (Works of similar themes, mediums, or colors look best together.) Trace frames onto paper and cut out, then arrange the templates on the wall until you find a layout you like.

Go to nearby Target or visit your local antique dealer and find shades to mix and match throughout your living room for a fresh new look.  Bright accent colors or funky patterns can really liven up a room. Feeling really ambitious? Visit the local craft store to crete your own.

Use old wooden crates to create that oh so needed shelving for your mudroom.  Stack two side by side and place a cushion across the top and not only is there a place to store those muddy shoes, but a place to sit and remove them!

Repurpose the classic Mason jar as a soap or lotion dispenser in your powder room, bathroom or kitchen. Drill a hole into the top of the Mason jar and use old pump dispensers from other household items and you have your very own custom soap dispensers.

 

 

wainscotingAdd Wainscoting to Dull Drab Living Room or Dining Room Walls

Adding wainscoting is a great way to add a textured look to any worn out living room or dining room wall.  Use an accent color that compliments the current color scheme or be bold and daring and go with a color that stands out, but adds an entirely new dimension to the look and feel of your dining room or living room.

These are a few tops for simple do-it-yourself projects for any weekend.  Should you require a more extensive home improvement or home renovation project, AJD Builders is here to assist.
