Do It Yourself: Blogs and Pinterest Pages

Share:

Today, Hazelview Living features a link roundup of easy-to-complete projects for your London, Ontario apartment. These DIY blogs and Pinterest pages are both cost effective and space efficient to make the most out of any apartment space.

A Beautiful Mess

A Beautiful Mess’ Pinterest boards are an amazing source of inspiration of both practical and aspirational projects. Free up wall space by creating a refrigerator calendar or put your music collection on display with this industrial record cabinet.

Space Saving Ideas Pinterest Page

The Hazelview Properties team thought this Pinterest page focused on space-saving DIY projects is especially great. The idea of upcycling old dresser drawers into under bed rolling storage seems like an accessible project even to DIY rookies.

25 DIY Projects That Cost Under $50

Courtesy of the classic apartment living blog, Apartment Therapy, these twenty-five projects range from beginner to ultra-advanced level. A few
of our more accessible favourites include the DIY Windowsill Planter and these simple floor cushions that double as extra seating in a pinch.


Best Use of Small Spaces Pinterest Page

This Pinterest page shows that living in a bachelor or one bedroom apartment doesn’t mean that an apartment dweller needs to compromise on space. This Pinterest has lots of projects to help make the most of smaller spaces. The pin featuring the Parisian apartment is especially cute and a good source of inspiration for those who want to live luxuriously in close quarters.

31 Days to [Cheaply] Organize Your Home

This challenge of the month comes courtesy of the Organizing Made Fun Blog. While some may take issue with the assertion that organizing is fun, a lot of these suggestions are practical and easy to implement at home. The DIY factor here is pretty low, suggestions usually focus on small purchases to organize and make apartment living easier.

Hanger Space Saver

Courtesy of Little Birdie Secret’s, this project adds a pop of colour on a bright ribbon and hangers to simply organize a closet and make the most of closet space.
