Fun projects you can tackle in one short weekend that will improve your home and make you feel proud of your accomplishments.

Try painting stripes on an accent wall to give the room a strong decorative element.

Use metalwork or a large clock to decorate a wall instead of the traditional pictures or mirrors. This offers variety to spice up your decor.

Make a new headboard for your bed to put the final touch on creating a peaceful oasis out of your bedroom.

Change a couple of cabinets in your kitchen to glass cabinets. Provides a sophisticated, updated look quickly and allows you to show off your fancy china and swanky cocktail glasses.

Add a roll out cabinet to your bathroom to hide your laundry basket and show off your entire floor.

Upgrade the handles on your cabinets in your kitchen and bathroom. A little detail goes a long way.

Affix old broken tiles to a stone to create an elegant walkway to your home.

Make a peanut butter pinecone birdfeeder with your kids, sometimes nearly free and easy does the trick. Tie a string around the top section of the pinecone, cover in peanut butter and roll in bird seed, hang outside and watch the birds enjoy their treat.

Add rope lighting to the top of shelving or a bookcase to create a real movie theater feel in your living room.

Don't forget the ceiling! Change your ceiling fan to make it a decorative element in the room. Now it will impress in the summer and the winter.

Make a side table for your bed. Start with a new garbage can and place a piece of round wood on top of it, and cover the entire structure with a piece of your choice of fabric. Enjoy a new table and a lot of storage space inside.

Repaint an old bookcase or armoire and add your personal style. Great for storage and as a conversation piece.
