I love DIY projects, but the majority of them out there really intimidate me.

So yes, I’d love to do that wall pallet project, but to be honest, that looks like too much work for a lazy person like me. And if you are like me, then you’ll probably want to try simple home projects that don’t take up too much of your time.

Doing projects around the house shouldn’t always take weeks to complete. In fact, it’s kind of nice to have some starter project options that are quick. They give you that nice sense of satisfaction as you see the completed project a lot more quickly.

And if you’re looking for some DIY home projects that won’t take up too much of your time, then check out the ideas below and see which ones work for your home!
