7 DIY Home Improvement Projects To Try This Emancipation Day Weekend.

The Emancipation Day, 3-day weekend is approaching and it’s a great opportunity to sit down, by yourself or with your kids, and work on a project. Not every weekend is meant for outdoor adventures and late nights out with your friends. If you're thinking of staying home this weekend and having a little bit of "me time," try one of these easy DIYs to keep you entertained.

These 7 improvements may not cost a lot, but they'll make a big difference in how your home functions. Try one or more of these projects this weekend to make your home look and feel its best.

Spice up a Piece of Furniture

Breathe new life into an old piece of furniture with a fresh coat of paint. For wood pieces, remove dirt or wax buildup with a household cleaner and rinse. Sand rough areas and wipe away dust. Apply two coats of stain-blocking primer and allow it to dry between coats. Roll or brush on two coats of latex paint in the direction of the wood grain, and use a brush to finish the surface with smooth strokes.
Needed: Paint or varnish and painting accessories

Build a Charging Station

Floating shelves are a great way to get more storage for your buck and can be tucked just about anywhere – wires permitting. Construct a mini charging station for your family's devices with this simple, inexpensive hack. Cut small slits in a basic ledge shelf to enable cords to run behind and inside the hollow shelf before being plugged in below. Mount the station to the wall to keep counter tops clutter-free.
Needed: 3/4 Plain Ply, nails

Mend Your Walkway

Cracks and gaps in sidewalks and walkways can quickly expand throughout the year. Not only will a patch job make your pathway look nice, it will also make it safer for visitors and passersby. Fix your sidewalk with a patching compound specifically made for cement.
Needed: Rayneau bagged products, cement

Streamline Under the Sink

Ease cleanup and eliminate the clutter of freestanding bottles with an over-the-door wire organizer. This slim solution maximizes undersink space while keeping kitchen essentials within easy reach.
Needed: rack, wire, hooks, etc.

Restore an Old Dining Table
There’s no easier way to update a tired dining table than to cover it with a bright and cheerful oilcloth. It’s also a practical and easy-to-clean option for busy families, whether you’re using the table for dinner or homework time.Take a piece of oilcloth and cut it to the size of your tabletop, leaving a few centimeters of overhang on each side. Use a staple gun to attach the oilcloth under the table edges, pulling it taut as you go. 
Needed: Oil cloth, paint or varnish.

Paint an accent wall
For a low-cost, high-impact update, grab a tin of paint in a striking colour and turn a plain wall into a show-stopping, statement wall that’ll never be overlooked again. Use painter’s tape to keep your ceilings and doors smudge free.
Needed: Paint from our paint department

Designate a Drop Spot

Can you recall the number of times you have misplaced your car keys at home? You can stop this now if you only enhance the style and storage of your entryway with a designated place for important drop-zone items. Create a mini hang-up station for house keys on the back of a cabinet door. Use magnetic strips, Peg-Board, or an old ceiling tin and add hooks to store items in one convenient location near the door.
                                             Needed: key hooks, flat piece of board

                                             HAPPY EMANCIPATION DAY !!!
