DIY Lifestyle: From Home Decor to Food and Beverages

In this special Dunn DIY post, co-author Kirsten Dunn brings us into her home to share some projects she’s completed while staying home and her tips on staying motivated.

Take a walk down memory lane with us by revisiting some of our favorite projects from 2019.

Learn two new methods of wrapping your presents this holiday season: one method with tape, and one method without!

Coming up with new and exciting decorations each Christmas is one of our favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit. We decided to DIY an alternative to the traditional, live Christmas tree with this wooden one with lights. It’ll brighten up your home and is reusable for years to come!

We sat down with our friends at Swansons Nursery here in Seattle to create this guide with everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Christmas trees—so when it comes time to pick one out, you’ll know exactly which tree is best for you and your home.

Expecting a much larger guest list this Thanksgiving than ever before? Us too. That's why we came up with this DIY buffet table—it accommodates a bunch of people in a little bit of space, and it's perfect for holiday hosting. Oh, and did we mention it's storable?

With this easy DIY, you'll get to create your own coasters to match your home's decor at little to no cost. Plus, it makes for the perfect stocking stuffer or gift for a holiday host or hostess.

Whether you're simply expecting a handful of trick-or-treaters to stop by your front door or you've invited all of your friends and family to your home, you'll be the (g)host or (g)hostess with the most (or most-est!) this Halloween with our festive DIY projects.

Get in the spirit of the season with a traditional hay-stuffed (not-so-scary) scarecrow. With minimal tools, materials, and time required, this project is a great one for beginners—just in time for Halloween. 

There's no reason your cleaning supplies can't reflect your style. This paper towel holder was an early Dunn DIY project, and we’ve updated it here. We love the sleek, modern vibe—as well as the inexpensive cost!

Lighting is one of the most important elements when creating ambience in a room, and this angular pendant light has a little extra flair. 

This small, folding camping table is portable and stores easily. It’s a must-have for your DIY camping set.
