When you take a moment to look around your house, you probably see many projects you want to do to improve your home. Chances are, a fair number of those projects are big undertakings that require a lot of time and planning. Finding that time can be challenging, and even the most experienced DIY-ers will have to accept that those projects have to wait. However, there are plenty of DIY projects you can easily tackle in a weekend. With a quick trip to your local Ace Hardware, you’ll have everything you need to make small but noticeable improvements to your home.
Make a trip to Aubin Ace Hardware this weekend and tackle these DIY projects!
Refresh the Grout
If you have tile floors in your kitchen or bathroom, you know it doesn’t take long for the grout to become dingy and dirty. There are multiple simple ways to refresh the grout and immediately improve the appearance of your kitchen or bathroom. This project does require a level of attention to detail, but you can complete it relatively quickly. You can dye or replace your grout or use grout paint for a quick-fix method.
Update or Add Light Fixtures
Having the right lighting can make all the difference in your home. Replacing a lighting fixture will give any room in your home a fresh look and brighten up the space. If a room in your home always feels a bit dark, consider using a larger fixture or one that points in another direction. For example, pointing a lighting fixture at the ceiling will reflect the light and brighten the whole room. If you have the electrical know-how, you can install wall sconces to add some reading light by your bed or favorite chair.
Small Painting Projects
While you may not have the time to repaint the larger rooms in your home in a weekend, you can tackle some smaller projects. Repaint your front door to welcome your guests with a new look. Does your kitchen need a refresh? Repaint the cabinets. If you’re feeling a bit more ambitious, take on a small room like a bathroom or guest bedroom. At Aubin Ace Hardware, we sell Benjamin Moore Paint, so you can choose from over 3500 colors to find the perfect hue for your home.
