5 Weekend At-Home projects anyone can do
Looking to freshen up your space without spending a fortune or waiting weeks for a contractor? These five at-home projects are perfect for a weekend—and best of all, they don’t require specialized skills or tools.
Whether you’re getting your hands dirty or looking for inspiration for your next big remodel, Old2New LLC is here to help. We’ve been serving Columbus, Ohio and the surrounding area since 2004 with expert remodeling and repair services.
1. Add a Fresh Coat of Paint
One gallon of paint, a roller, and a free Saturday can totally transform a room. Whether you’re brightening up the kitchen or creating a cozy bedroom retreat, a little color goes a long way.
💡 Pro Tip: Use painter’s tape for clean edges and test swatches in daylight before committing.

2. Update Your Cabinet Hardware
Swapping out old knobs and pulls for a modern finish can instantly refresh your kitchen or bathroom—no drilling required if you match the existing holes.
💡 Choose brushed nickel, matte black, or gold for an on-trend look.
🚪 Want a full cabinet refacing or custom kitchen remodel? Old2New specializes in full kitchen overhauls.
3. Install Peel-and-Stick Backsplash
DIY backsplash panels are affordable, renter-friendly, and available in countless styles—from subway tile to mosaic. Most require just a ruler, scissors, and some patience.
💡 Make sure the surface is clean and dry for the adhesive to bond properly.
🧱 Ready for the real thing? We offer professional tile installation for kitchens and bathrooms with precision and style.
4. Boost Curb Appeal with Landscaping Touches
Planting flowers, trimming hedges, or installing solar pathway lights can make your home feel more welcoming and polished—no green thumb required.
💡 Mulch and edging can give your yard a clean, finished look in just an afternoon.
🏠 Old2New can also assist with exterior improvements, including siding, roofing, and porch repairs to make your home shine from the street.
5. Replace Old Caulk in Bathrooms
Peeling, stained caulk isn’t just unsightly—it can lead to mold and water damage. With a caulk remover tool and a little patience, you can reseal tubs, showers, and sinks in just a few hours.
💡 Use mold-resistant silicone caulk for long-lasting results.
