Weekend Inspiration: No.91

Spring home office

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been so distracted by all of the alarming news headlines that I almost overlooked the fact that spring is just one week away! In honor of the impending change in seasons, I wanted to round up a quick list of cold weather projects that we can all tackle indoors this weekend (and on any other straggler cold day that I’m sure will crop up during the transition to full-on spring).

I hate to add to the sensationalization of this whole coronavirus thing, but there’s also a chance that we might all be sticking a little closer to home these next few weeks, too, so now’s the perfect time to stock up on craft and furniture makeover supplies so you can creatively while away those secluded hours at home.

Weekend Inspiration: No.91

1. Since we’ll soon be switching the inventory of our coat closet over to our most-used spring jackets and boots, it might be the perfect time for a revamp! I’m thinking about pulling inspiration from this closet makeover.

2. I tend to schedule my houseplant upkeep chores around the turn of each new season, so this post all about how to pot and repot indoor plants caught my eye.

3. Speaking of greenery, this DIY gold ring hanging planter project stopped me in my tracks. I love the circular shape and the fact that it would put my houseplants out of reach from our pets.

4. One of my personal favorite weekend crafts from the past year was this DIY wooden dashed desktop paper tray. The best part is that it makes use of supplies that you might already have around your house, so no need to run to the store!

5. If laying around watching Netflix and YouTube is more your style when stuck inside, definitely make sure to check out the mid-century home tour of actress, Dakota Johnson (article here, video tour here). It’s my new dream space.

6. Again, I don’t want to oversaturate your lovely little brains with coronavirus talk, but I feel led to offer at least a few of the articles that have felt especially well done to me from the past week. I copied a lot of the stock-up suggestions shared in this article via Hunker, appreciated this DIY hand sanitizer recipe, and read every word in this list of 7 things you can do today to protect yourself from the virus.

DIY Paint Pen IKEA Side Table Hack

It’s amazing what paint can do, am I right? But it might actually be even more amazing what a paint pen can do. Take this small $50 Ikea side table as an example. It was functional, yes, and I actually really liked the sleek, minimalist vibes of the piece, but I still felt like a little something was missing.

Then, I happened to spot a cool designer nightstand somewhere on Instagram (can’t remember where now!) that had a geometric pattern inlaid on the drawer fronts. It took maybe five minutes of staring at my newly discovered inspiration image to realize that I could probably get the look using a paint pen and very little else.

Low and behold, it worked! I was honestly a little skeptical, and wasn’t overly confident in my measuring (let alone hand-drawing) capabilities, but I just took things nice and slow with this project to get the results I was after. Hop over to Hunker for the full step-by-step tutorial, and let me know in the comments here if you have any other ideas for adding character to this plain, budget-friendly side table. A cool cane detail? Peel-and-stick wallpaper? What would you do?
