Some of you may know that I’ve been working on a few projects in my house. Well, I’m always working on projects in my house. But, I’m talking about the DIY  bookshelves in my family room. Click here to see the progress of my DIY Bookshelves.

and the woodworking in my stairway (which I haven’t blogged about yet). Anyway, I got to thinking about how often I actually use plywood. You guys, I’ve seriously used plywood in every room in my house. When you think of plywood, you think of the stuff hidden under your floors. But if you’re not using plywood in your house, you’re missing out! I want to share with you some amazing plywood projects from some of my favorite bloggers! Some of them are hard to believe they’re even plywood projects!

20 DIY Plywood Projects

Give an old bookcase a new look. This bookshelf was a huge thumbs down before Erin got ahold of it. I love that she added planks to the back of the bookcase. What a transformation. & that little hanging art clip is cute. You can do something similar with an ikea pant hanger.

Add planks to a powder room for a big impact. Adding wood planks to the wall was crazy cheap. Like $13 cheap. And it has made a huge difference in my powder room. But can we talk about that light fixture for a sec!? I got that one at home depot for $20. But last time I went, they didn’t have any. I ‘ve been considering swapping it for this black one or this green one.

Make an Industrial Inspired Desk. This is one of the coolest desks I’ve ever seen. It’s difficult, even for me to believe that this desk is made from plywood and 2x4s!
