Trending on Remodelista: DIY Design Inspiration

December 20, 2019

Everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to DIY. Some are perfectly happy getting down and dirty with glue guns, hammers, and beyond, while others prefer to leave the “doing” to professionals and focus on just the designing. In the end, it’s the DIY spirit that counts, as evidenced in these projects featured on our sister sites:

Mandy Lee, the founder of Lady and Pups food blog, designed and oversaw the renovation of her small kitchen—and even stained the plywood countertops herself. She also worked with a paint company to get just the right color green for the walls and cabinets. Photograph by Mandy Lee, from Kitchen of the Week: The ‘Angry Food Blogger’ at Home in Hong Kong.
