A handmade, wooden table can bring so much character to your home. This DIY Kitchen Table from @rusticgarage__ is really quite impressive. You’ll need to know a few woodworking techniques to cut out the pieces, but after it’s all assembled, just think how great it’ll feel knowing that you made it with your own two hands.

Who doesn’t love a good herringbone pattern? Especially when you see how @demolition.des used it to transform her tabletop into a work of art. This DIY Herringbone Table Cover may look expensive, but only you know how much, or rather, how little it costs! Just wait till your friends and family see it! Be prepared for a lot of “oohing” and “aahing.”

This DIY Wooden Bedroom Bench from @mollynicolexo is a great project, no matter your skill level. The clean, simple lines will definitely pull your bedroom together. For us, what makes this piece a standout is the distressed look. We’re all about it. There’s something about furniture with signs of wear and age that’s comforting. Whatever distressing technique you choose (hammer, chisel, multi-tool, ice pick, you name it) you’re creating a custom piece with tons of character. All for the fraction of the cost of store bought. 

 

So you bought a water cooler for your home. Only problem now is every time you walk into the kitchen your eye immediately goes to it. Yeah, it’s become a real eyesore. Well, @peonyaccents has a solution for that. With this DIY Hidden Water Dispenser Cabinet, all it takes is a few hours of DIYing and “Voila!”—instant kitchen upgrade.

Basement bars can be a cozy place to escape the stress of the daily grind. (Not to mention a great way to entertain and save money on bar tabs.) So if your basement has room to spare, @survivalofasurbanmom will show you how to build this DIY Bar Basement on a budget!
