Not only can DIY projects provide hours of fun, but they are a great way to spruce up your kitchen in a budget-friendly way.

Below are 4 of my favourite DIY kitchen décor ideas that will help you bring new life to everyday items. Happy crafting and enjoy the time with your loved ones!

Are your family members constantly asking what’s for dinner? Is there a struggle to plan your meals for the week? If you answered yes to either of these questions, your kitchen is in serious need of a menu board. This quick and easy craft requires a piece of plywood, old picture frame pieces, some teak wood coasters, and a splash of paint. You can choose to customize your board to match your kitchen perfectly, or you can let the kids have some fun and go wild with the colours and design. Regardless, your menu board will allow you to plan out your meals in advance and feel like the true organization queen/king that you are.
