Welcome to The Weekend Home Project
A place for simple ideas, useful tools, and smart finds for your home and garden.
Home is built one weekend at a time
Some of the best memories happen with a paintbrush in hand, dirt under your fingernails, or a new shelf finally hanging level on the wall.
The Weekend Home Project was created for people who love their homes and want to make them better, without taking on a full renovation or spending every free hour on it. We believe you don't need to be a contractor to fix, build, plant and decorate with confidence. You just need a good idea, the right tools, and a little encouragement.
Here you'll find practical projects sized for a Saturday, honest recommendations for the tools and supplies that make them easier, and plenty of ideas for your garden, porch and yard too.
The values behind every project
Home is about people
We do these projects to make our homes more welcoming for the people we love, and to make memories along the way.
Honest recommendations
We only point you to products we believe are useful for the job. When a link is an affiliate link, we tell you.
Safety and common sense
We'll always remind you to protect yourself, follow instructions, and call a licensed pro for electrical, gas, structural or roofing work.
