DIY Headboard Ideas

Do It Yourself(DIY) is a term used to describe building, modifying, repairing or any kind of activity done by yourself, without help from a professional. This term came into common use in the ’50s when people started to do things around the house by themselves that is why it refers to home improvement.

In recent years, the DIY movement is a re-introduction (often to urban and suburban dwellers) of the old pattern of personal involvement and use of skills in upkeep of a house or apartment or any material aspect of living. [Wikipedia]

Il Fai Da Te o Bricolage è un'attività manuale che consiste in piccoli lavori che una persona, generalmente non professionista, esegue per proprio conto e propria soddisfazione. In questo senso il “fai da te” si distingue dal lavoro e viene inserito tra gli hobby ed è legato a tutte quelle attività che una persona compie da sola per il miglioramento e la cura della casa, come la creazione di piccoli mobili o l'effettuare riparazioni di lieve entità.
