If you’re like most folks, summer’s long, sweltering days did little to motivate you to spruce up your home. Now that fall is in the air, it’s time to grab your toolbox and tackle your home improvement checklist. Check out these fun, friendly blogs for instruction and inspiration to get you going.
Scout
Want to trick out your home with salvaged metal or build a fire pit for ushering in fall’s cooler nights? This blog is chock-full of helpful tips. You can learn how to grout like a pro, transform your bathroom with tile and perfect your crown molding techniques all from the same place. Scout.com not only has a comprehensive handyman section, it also covers MLB, fantasy football, hunting and more. So whenever your brain experiences DIY overload, you can take a quick break!
DIY Diva
Let’s face it, home improvement can be a dry topic. Not when it’s being discussed by the DIY Diva, aka the “power tool junkie and accidental farmer” Kit. She lives on a farm and instructs on topics ranging from flashing and trimming windows to transforming your favorite glassware into a lamp. Oh yeah, and her blog is peppered with hilarious anecdotes about life on the farm.
It’s Great to be Home
Liz began house flipping with her husband, and her blog documents each of their flips; so far, they’ve completed 10! It’s fun and inspiring, because you can see before and after photos of projects you can emulate in your own home. Because she updates the blog when they update a room, you can find exactly how to spice up your kitchen or just how to accent your bathroom mirror. You’ll also find great advice about how to choose exterior paint colors, how to demo a space and more.
Young House Love
This blog is brimming with helpful information you can put to use in your own home. If your fall plans include remodeling a bathroom, revitalizing your kitchen grout, installing a range hood or staining and sealing your deck so it will better weather a snowy winter, married couple Sherry and John will walk you through the how-tos (almost 3,000 of them!)
DIY Show Off
If you’ve got it flaunt it, right? As you can see by the title of her blog, Roeshel is proud of her mad DIY skills. If your fall prep plans lean more toward aesthetics than construction, this blog is for you! Learn how to makeover your bathroom, pantry or kitchen, build a cool light fixture or hanging organizer, or create an eye-catching accent wall.
