As good as it would feel to take a sledgehammer to a wall right now, that isn’t feasible for many reasons. But if you’re after a bit of a home transformation, there are all kinds of much lower lift DIYs you can do instead that’ll also feel super satisfying. Consider bringing some serious order to your pantry with an over-the-door shoe organizer that can pull off all kinds of organizing feats. Or finally removing the dark stains from your toilet that bleach just won’t erase. So set a timer for an hour and tackle one of these for what feels like a productive use of some otherwise antsy downtime.

Promising review: “HOLY COW! If I could give this 11 stars out of 10, I would. I have these beautiful fabric recliners that I love that our new kitty got her claws on. I was ready to sell these and call it a day, I was so tired of looking at them. Then I remembered this fabric shaver, and I thought, ‘For $10, I’ll see what happens.’
The ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos speak for themselves. These chairs look brand new again!! I am shocked and relieved that I just saved myself around $800-$1,000 for a new set of recliners. These things work so well, I want to ask my neighbors if they need any fabric shaved. Just kidding, but it’s oddly therapeutic too. Due to the extensive damage to these chairs, it probably took me an hour to do all four corners of each chair.” — Erin Mazzei

Promising review: “The attic drop-down door in the home I’m renting is located in the interior of the home in the bedroom hallway, plus the door is warped, leaving a half-inch gap open. In this flaming hot summer, the heat was pouring into the hallway, and my AC ran 12 hours per day to keep the house reasonably cool. The thermostat is 3 feet from this attic door (poor design), which exacerbated the problem. Within five minutes of installing this, I noticed a complete change! In the South, it doesn’t get terribly cold in the winter, but this will keep the cold from leaking in as well. Great product for less than $40. Beats paying for a new attic door on a home I don’t even own.” — C A

I might rearrange the shelves, but it’s just held with screws on each end so that’s easy enough to do-comes with two supports for two shelves, but you can choose from four heights/positions. 👍🏻 Might need to order a second for under the kitchen sink…” — Jennifer Mowry

Promising review: “Great light strip. The motion sensor has a good range and then controls for time on and brightness are wonderful. The 3M tape on the back could be stronger, but for the price and motion sensor it is a great buy. Also we have this plugged into a smart outlet so that it only turns on during certain hours of the day. That plus the feature that is there is enough ambient light, the motion sensor doesn’t trigger makes this on par with systems that are far more expensive. Works great with Google home as well because of the linked smart plug. Very happy with the purchase. Would be 4.5 stars just because of the tape not being sticky enough, but they do provide a second roll in the box, which helps.” — AC

If you get up close, or look at them from the outside, it’s pretty obvious they aren’t real, but you’d have to be looking really closely. Don’t forget to buy one package of caming lines for each set of decals, you’ll need it. If you’re someone who gets stressed about applying sticky things, or making things straight, don’t worry too much about it. I am really bad at that stuff typically and I found it really easy. Wash your windows first, measure so you have a rough idea of where to put the center decal, and keep some scissors on hand to cut the caming. It’s easy and so cool!
