DIY Projects for Moms to Tackle This Spring

Spring has finally arrived in Colorado – bringing longer days, fresh energy, and that irresistible urge to declutter, refresh, and reimagine your space. If you’re a mom juggling family life and homeownership, spring is the perfect time to take on simple DIY projects that not only beautify your home but also offer a sense of accomplishment and creativity.

You don’t need to be a master crafter or have hours of free time (because… let’s be real). These projects are doable, budget-friendly, and satisfying. Making them perfect for naptime productivity or weekend bonding with the kids.

1. Create a Family Command Center

Tired of school papers, permission slips, and soccer schedules taking over the kitchen counter? A family command center can be a game-changer. Designate a wall or corner with a corkboard, whiteboard calendar, and mail sorter. Add hooks for keys and a small shelf for essentials. You can customize it with fun colors, washi tape, or even mini chalkboards. It’s functional, stylish, and keeps the whole family on track.

2. Refresh Your Front Porch

First impressions start at the front door! Sweep off the winter grime and add a pop of spring with a DIY wreath made from faux florals or greenery. Paint your front door a cheerful new color, lay down a new welcome mat, or add potted plants. Even a small porch can become a welcoming, personality-filled space that makes you smile every time you come home.

3. Upcycle Old Furniture

Got an old dresser or side table collecting dust? Give it new life with a coat of chalk paint or fun new hardware. This is a great weekend project and can easily be done with little ones “helping” by handing you brushes or picking out colors. Upcycling saves money and adds character to your home.

4. Start a Container Herb Garden

Whether you live in a house or a small apartment, a container herb garden is an easy spring project that gives back. Plant basil, mint, parsley, or chives in small pots and keep them on your kitchen windowsill or back patio. It’s a great way to introduce kids to gardening – and adds freshness to your spring meals!

5. Make a DIY Mudroom Space

Spring means muddy boots, sports gear, and rain jackets piling up at the door. If your entryway needs some help, consider adding a simple bench, wall hooks, and labeled baskets or crates for each family member. It doesn’t have to be fancy – just functional. Bonus: no more tripping over soccer cleats every morning.

6. Create a Spring Memory Wall

Choose your favorite family moments and turn them into a spring-themed gallery wall. You can use inexpensive frames, washi tape, or even clipboards to display photos, kids’ artwork, or inspirational spring quotes. It adds warmth and personality to any hallway, staircase, or playroom.

Spring is a season of renewal – and your home can reflect that too. Tackling a few DIY projects doesn’t just improve your space—it can recharge your spirit. So grab your coffee (or glass of wine), turn on your favorite playlist, and dive into a project that makes your house feel even more like home.
