My home is my nest and by far my favorite place on earth to be. That's why it's so important for me to keep it feeling fresh and welcoming. Here are seven of my simple DIYs to help you add a little something extra to your home this summer.
Bug Repellent Candle
I bet you didn't know you could not only make your own bug repellent candles, but also make them look really pretty and inviting. Well, now you do!
Front Door Sign
This sign will sure come in handy for all those barbeques and pool parties your hosting this summer. Plus, it's so simple to make! 
No Sew Pillows
I've always believed the best way to give your home decor a fresh update is with new pillows! The best part of this DIY? No sewing skills needed AT ALL.
Make Your Own Teacup Birdbath
If you are hoping to have more birds enjoying your garden this summer this Teacup Birdbath is the perfect project!
DIY Button Thumbtacks
You know all those spare buttons that wind up in a junk drawer? Try using them to create something beautiful!
Home State Wall Art
I used my Nana's vintage maps to make this simple and meaningful DIY. Grab a gas station map or one that's been passed down from a family member and try it for yourself! 
DIY Rainboot Garden
This is such a fun way to add flare to your garden or patio. Just up-cycle a few pairs of boots from your local thrift store!
