We’ve been away exploring the beautiful Rocky Mountains the last eight days and I really wanted to hop on today and share my top 20 DIY projects on White Picket Farmhouse
DIY is what I started blogging about back in early 2016. It only makes sense to share my top 20 DIY’s with you all today
Top 20 DIY Projects on White Picket Farmhouse
- Deck Makeover – Part Two
To Be honest, I love Part 1 AND Part 2. If wanting to see a crazy transformation, we were working with very little money and equipment. This one is for you. Click here to see both transformations.
2. Easy and Simple DIY Bench
We have a REALLY small entrance and nothing every seemed to do it justice. Since we have such a small entrance we needed something that had big impact, but also had storage and this super easy DIY Bench fit the bill! Click here for a full DIY on this bench.
3. Sage Front Door + Board and Batten
On the other side of our entrance we had this blank wall. We decided to do white board and batten halfway up the wall with a shelf to display small vases and vintage art and we made our own peg wall. Click here to see tips on how to paint a exterior door too!

I was loving the brush stroke walls that have been showing up all over the Internet, but I didn’t really feel it was my vibe. I decided to use one of my old pieces of art and create this piece of art out of it for free. Click here to read what I used to make this free art.
6. One Room Challenge – Laundry Room Makeover
