The dreaded lintel!

Designed to hold whatever’s above it but set in a location that often needs things hung from.

Drilling into a lintel can be difficult, at Learn DIY we teach alternative ways to hang items around openings, as well as an easy way to drill into it, if needed.

Alternatively, compression blinds are a simple, cheap and effective option.

What a lovely start to Easter Sunday!

I received this lovely message this morning from a recent student who embarked on her first major DIY project.

“My first big project. Thank you for giving me the confidence!” Lynne.

She wanted this Vadholma Kitchen Island, but instead of just paying £499 for it.

She used an old worktop, wood from the frame of an old sofa, bought some additional plywood and MDF, and proceeded to put it all together. She then sprayed it to match her kitchen.

What an AMAZING result!

Did she make mistakes along the way? Of course, it’s part of the journey of lifelong learning.

But she went from, I can’t to I can, which is the goal at Learn DIY.

Well done! ❤️❤️❤️
