DIY Interior Design Project Ideas (Quarantine Edition)

Looking for ways to keep yourselves occupied while “vacationing” at home these days? Or maybe you’ve already burned straight thru your list of things-to-do and are looking for the latest DIY mission to throw yourself headfirst into.  It’s honestly kind of a job in itself keeping ourselves (not to mention kids!) busy, productive and engaged with activities that are both enjoyable and rewarding.

Insert another #theskyisfalling extremely panicked question here. With that out of the way, let’s get down to the facts and current state-of-affairs.
