Squeezing in a Few More DIY Projects Before Fall

As much as we all look forward to the upcoming season, fall brings colder weather, which can make getting your home projects done difficult. For whatever reason, it’s harder to stay motivated when it’s chilly outside. Fall officially starts on September 22, so you’ve got a few more days to get things done before you run out of gusto. Here are a few last-minute projects you can squeeze in.

Stencil Your Tiles
Outdated tiles? There is a quick and inexpensive way to update your tiles. Have you heard of tile stenciling? You literally use a stencil to paint new, trendy designs on outdated tile styles. Tile stencils have become more popular over the last few months. It’s easier and cheaper than retiling. This fun project can really change a space. If you don’t believe me, check it out on Pinterest. There are plenty of how-to directions and advice from others who have done it.
