With so much going on in our daily lives, it’s sometimes hard to make time for home improvements. If you’re short on time but still want to make progress on your home improvement to-do list, weekend projects are an excellent place to start.
Even though some home improvement projects do take a while, some can be done quickly for ultimate results.
DIY laundry room ideas
Adding storage space is a simple DIY project which can help declutter the laundry room and make tasks more pleasant. For example, consider adding shelves to the wall area to hold laundry supplies and free up floor space. For materials too heavy or large for shelves, try storage bins and baskets to avoid clutter.
Create an easy-change gallery wall
Do you enjoy switching up photo decor from time to time? Consider setting up a gallery wall you can make easy changes to. You can find picture ledges at many stores selling home goods products which can be crafted into your gallery wall. You can spray paint these ledges a different shade than your wall to add a striking contrast.
Once the ledges are installed, you can add your pictures to picture frames and set them up. Switch these photos around or out to your liking.
Create an indoor floating garden
Add a raised garden bed to your space to bring fresh life and greenery indoors. You can include different tiers, which allows you to add multiple plants and flowers to decorate. This lovely creation can usually be put together within a few days.
DIY projects don’t have to be lengthy to make a home fabulous. Over the short span of a weekend, a few extra shelves, paint, pictures and plants can bring freshness to your space.

Kyung Kim
Hi, I'm Kyung Kim. I immigrated from South Korea to the United States in 1968 when I was 7 years old. I have seen my mom struggle with the English language and work hard to raise her four kids by herself. Still to this day, I don't know how she pulled it off, but she bought her first home in 1979 for $70,000 and because of that decision, she was able to live without worrying about her financial future. I want that for everyone, to feel the pride of home ownership and to build their financial wealth using real estate as part of their financial portfolio. I feel so blessed to play a small role in helping others reach this goal.
I live in Beaverton with my husband, Richard. My mom, who lived with us for several years, passed away in our home in February 2022. Her first home purchase in 1979 made it possible for her to live to the very end, without worrying about her finances. As of August 2022 with a little downpayment assistance, our four children own their own homes. Being in real estate, I quickly realized that if they didn't buy now, they may be priced out of the market in the future. Whether that would have been the case, we will never know, but what we do know is that they are all realizing some good, healthy appreciation in their home values.
As passionate as I am about people owning their homes, I'm also passionate about giving back to our community. I support Compassion First, a non-profit organization that provides aftercare for sex trafficked girls in Indonesia. My husband and I also feel called to financially support social injustice organizations.
I'd love to assist you. Whether you're in the research phase at the beginning of your real estate search or you know exactly what you're looking for, you'll benefit from having a real estate professional by your side. I'd be honored to put my real estate experience to work for you.
