There's a special kind of awe we experience each time we see photos of a reader's home makeover. Those "after" pictures mean that this reader looked at the "before" version of a space or item, had the foresight to envision what was possible, and then planned and actually completed the work to get there. It's amazing!
Do you also love checking out photos of home makeovers — but feel overwhelmed by the idea of actually doing them? Oh, wow, have you come to the right place! In this special issue, we offer project inspiration, instruction, and helpful tips and hacks for every DIYer, no matter your skill level or budget. We can't wait to see what you create with your new skill set — so don't forget to send us pictures!
