31 Days of Projects
As I considered a theme for this year’s 31-day series, I wanted something flexible, enjoyable, and broad enough to keep me excited each day. I didn’t want the topic to be so narrow that I exhausted ideas halfway through the month. The result was a simple, playful decision: 31 Days of Projects.
This series uses the word “projects” in a very loose way. I have a wide mix of ideas in mind: some are home décor projects, others are small crafts, a few are blog-design experiments, some involve cooking, and there may even be a few room reveals. You’ll see brand-new tutorials alongside curated round-ups of past projects. I normally plan far ahead, but this time I’m keeping things spontaneous—partly for the fun of it, and partly to see where inspiration leads.
What to Expect
Expect variety. Some days will feature quick, inexpensive makeovers you can complete in an afternoon. Other posts will be larger reveals that took longer to put together. I’ll also share practical tips—how I source materials, simple tools I use, and approaches for adapting ideas to different budgets and styles. Each post aims to be approachable, with enough detail for you to try the project yourself or adapt it to suit your space.
The goal is to inspire you to take on small, meaningful changes around your home and life. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or trying your first craft project, there’s something in this series for you. I’ll include before-and-after photos whenever possible and share the occasional discovery or mistake—because those are often the most useful learning moments.
And yes, the series will wander a bit—my ideas tend to do that. That’s part of the charm: unpredictable, varied, and full of small delights.
Coming Up Next
Tomorrow I’ll start the series with a curb-side find story—one of those satisfying moments when you rescue something discarded and give it a new life. I can’t wait to show you the piece and explain how I transformed it.
P.S. A heartfelt thank-you to the kind ladies at the Work it Wednesday link party for featuring my Dining Room turned Office Makeover. You truly made my day!
