Update Your Living Room Walls in an Afternoon

Crafty blogger Anjana from At the Corner of Happy and Harried turned the pages of an old book into a unique indoor paper wreath, which takes on an entirely new look when mounted on a frame.

This minimalist book shelf from DIY blog The Turquoise Home is just about the fastest weekend project of all; perfect for putting your favorite titles on display. Depending on the depth of the ledges, these could also hold plants and other living room decor!

Paper art is ideal as weekend projects go, and these colorful DIY paper butterflies from Craft or Northing are no exception. We love the look of a rainbow of butterflies, but crafters can easily match the paper to the room's overall decor by using muted or patterned tones.

As bibliophiles, we were immediately drawn to this DIY book cover wall mosaic posted by The Crafty Gentleman. Tailor this DIY project to your home's unique decor by customizing the size, image and frame. 

How creative is this DIY painted wall clock? The blogger behind The Creative Exchange chose to replicate a traditional watch face, but you could choose any shape, object or decal to mark the hours.

The craft blogger from A Beautiful Mess created a DIY statement wall on the cheap, making it with only cardboard and paint pens. Even if the wall didn't look so cool, we'd like this weekend project just for its price tag.
