Each National Homeownership Month (June), Twin Cities Habitat celebrates the creativity, resourcefulness, and joy of Habitat homeowners with our annual Homeownership Photo Contest. This year, we asked homeowners to show us what DIY projects they've completed. View the results!
From putting up curtains, restyling rooms, and enhancing landscaping, our Habitat homeowners have been busy turning their houses into homes. Homes that reflect their personality, their charm, and their families. The top entries won VISA gift cards, and all participants received a coupon to ReStore home improvement outlets.
View the entries below, and maybe you'll be inspired to take on a DIY project!
"One wall of this room was an open office and was converted into my son’s bedroom by walling it up. I also made the shelves on the wall and painted them blue and remodeled the closet. (Design, cut, finish everything)"
"A dream comes true! The whole paint job was my 13 year old daughter's idea; she chose the paints, the design was free handed from her mind. My daughter also taped it with the help of her best friend and cousin by themselves and had so much doing this project."
"Habitat made my dreams come true! Five years in this amazing long standing habitat home. Figured she needed a face lift. With all supplies from Habitat Restore. With the homeowner discount and sweat equity, I was able to make the remodel affordable."
"This is my home decorations and my new tree planted. My landscaping in the front. It's so beautiful at night when it's all lit up."
