Hey DIYers, what are you working on? Submit your renovation projects

Inspiration overload is real in the world of a do-it-yourselfer. We know. We have dozens of Houzz idea books devoted to kitchen lighting, spa bathrooms and wallpaper accent walls. Not to mention Pinterest boards for make-it-yourself window treatments and outdoor pallet planters. But at some point you need to stop pinning and pick up a paint brush.

We want to hear about your DIY project or sweat equity renovation.

Did you roll up your sleeves and tackle a kitchen upgrade that's been nagging you since you moved in? Did you teach yourself to tile and find the results to be (surprisingly) not so bad? Did you grab sand paper and a can of spray paint and give new life to a thrift store find? Or maybe you finally took the plunge and made that no-sew roman shade for your bathroom that you've had bookmarked for months (I mean all it takes is a shower curtain, scissors, glue and an iron, right?)

If you have a renovation project you're proud of, send us your story (400 words or less) along with before and after pictures to Cate Fitzpatrick at cfitzpatrick@islandpacket.com.
