1. Potting Bench
/filters:quality(70)/content/yy/f2/szf37zq3_550x733.jpg)
Whether you have a small, city garden, or a large countryside oasis, this DIY idea for spring is great for any space. A DIY potting bench can be any size you need it to be for the space you have available. You can repurpose an old dresser or cabinet as seen in this tutorial over on hgtvgardens.com, or even build your own from pallet wood. This is a great DIY to put together if you are looking to organize your garden materials and don’t have a garage or shed to keep them in.
2. Planters

There are so many ways to repurpose stuff you have around the house as planters and they'll all be unique to you! Giving your planters a little glam and sparkle this spring by using Mod Podge and glitter with a cute polka dot stencil is a great idea! Another fun and fresh DIY idea for your planters is reusing tin cans and spray painting them a metallic copper tone like Amy did as shown on homeyohmy.com. Hmm, I wonder if my husband would get suspicious if I start collecting tin cans from our recycling bin!

A fresh coat of paint on your walls, furniture, or even on your front door is a great way to bring a new beginning into your home for spring. One of the DIY paint ideas I am obsessed with right now is a stenciled accent wall, like here projectnursery.com. I love that they can work for any room in your home too; in the kitchen, family room, or even a nursery.

Making a spring wreath is still on my to-do list for this year. I finally gave our boring lamp shade a stencil makeover and now I am hoping to cross this DIY off my list too! One of my new favorite ideas for DIY wreaths is using fabric scraps like blogger Kelly did over on livelaughrowe.com. Adorable isn’t it? There are just too many DIY ideas for spring wreaths and I love them all!

Tired of your old curtains? Give them a new look this spring by painting fun polka dots on them with a tutorial from remodelaholic.com, or use painter's tape to create a chevron pattern. In fact, you could go to town with tape and design your whole own abstract pattern. You can go big and bold with these ideas, or if you want a simple look, just tape off the bottom to add one or two stripes of color.
7. Mantel
