TOP 5 PROJECTS YOU CAN DO IN A MORNING
There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of knocking out a project in a weekend. And if you can get the job done on a breezy Saturday morning? All the better.
That’s the idea behind Saturday Morning Projects, a popular show streaming on the At Home with Family Handyman channel. Nina Bricko, a studio project editor for this magazine, contributes to the show, guiding you through quick, simple solutions that solve problems around your home—and, even better, increase its value. As a busy mom of two, Bricko has seen it all in her own home, whether it’s cracked kitchen counters, peeling paint or bath toys that need a good organization. She shares her expertise and also takes you on the personal journeys of DIY enthusiasts just like you, who endeavor to improve their homes in a short time.
Got a single morning and DIY spirit? Try one of Bricko’s favorite ideas from the kitchen episode:
1. Use paint to create a marbled look on your counters.
2. Create your own drawer with dividers from veneer plywood.
3. Build a sliding shelf under your sink and use it to hold trash and recycling bags.
4. Make an innovative spice rack with elastic bands that keep the spices in place.
5. Use a peel-and-stick backsplash for a fresh look and feel. Bricko offers some advice for those up to the challenge of taking a small but impactful project into their hands: “DIYers make mistakes—even the most skilled woodworkers,” she says. “Whatever you do, don’t give up. Just keep going and trying.
Each build, no matter how small, brings out new skills in you.
And most of what we do can be redone. So you might as well dive in and have some fun.”
