It’s been a while since we’ve presented a DIY project roundup, and fall is the perfect time to gather design inspiration as the crisp chill in the air gives us a burst of creative energy. Do you find yourself inspired by the changing leaves and the cooler temperatures? Today’s post is for you! While many of these projects are perfect for a weekend at home, some are so easy, they can be created in an afternoon. Or even an hour! Keep reading for a collection of weekend projects that will infuse your home with modern style…

A Grand Entrance

We begin with a series of projects that create a design-fabulous path from the outdoors to the inside of your home.
