Whether it’s simple decorating to full out home renovation, this Home Improvement binder will help you keep it all together. {{I’ve got your back!}}
Simply print out the contents of this file and let me do the organizing for you! {wink}
There are many ways to use this home improvement binder to help plan and organize your home renovations or simple decorating tasks.
How to Organize DIY Home Improvement Planner:
- Print out the worksheets from the Tip Junkie Home Improvement Binder included here.
- Three hold punch them into a 1-2” binder.
- Insert a zippered pouch to hold receipts
- Insert 8-10 page protectors for manuals, magazine ideas, printed blog posts, etc.
You’ll find the TJ Home Improvement Binder broken down into easy to access categories!
Six Main Categories:
- Inspiration
- Plans
- Estimates
- Receipts
- Before and After
- Manuals
1. Inspiration
- Checklists by room of things you would like to do.
- A Inspiration file.
- Track online links for products and ideas!
- Store torn sheets from magazines.
2. Plans
- Track your budget and money spent for each room or project.
- Keep track of fabric swatches and names of fabrics.
- Keep track of paint colors, the formula sticker, and type of finish of the paint.
- Sketch a map of furniture placement or keep a design worksheet.
- Store helpful tips/links on how to place furniture, cabinets, or whatever is going into the room.
3. Estimates
This just might be one of the things you’ll hate the most, but is so important to get multiple estimates on every project.
- Keep estimates from contractors!
- File big lists of recommended contractors, landscapers, handy men, etc.
4. Receipts
Keep every receipt for every item you purchase that applies to the home remodeling project in one place! This will save you time if you have to return an item or if something is faulty.
- Keep receipts from when and where item was purchased.
- Keep contact information for the companies who made the items {if necessary}.
5. Before and After
Definitely take a lot of photos during the process especially when you begin.
- You’ll love having before and after photos of your own home.
- It’s helpful to have before and after images of inspiration!
6. Manuals
- Wondering where to store your manuals for products (like TV, dishwasher, etc)?
Now you just need to insert sheet protectors and you are good to go! I hope that this Home Improvement Binder is as helpful to you as it’s been to me. I’m all about designing ways to make life easier and more meaningful!

Very well said.
Actually, there are several ways on how to learn doing some home improvements. As I read your post, I think that it’s one of the best ideas to do some consultations with the experts. Of course, it always good to make the renovations/repairs by ourselves to be able to learn but it’s also crucial to get some opinions from others.

Hey Brooke,
I didn’t get your email. You are more than welcome to do a quick post about the binder, but please do not add it as an upload to your blog. That would be infringing on copyright laws.
However, an image and a link directly to this post is quite the compliment. thank you!

Thank you! Wow!!!
I am definitely passing this on, too!
(too many !!!!!, but that’s the sentiment
It is really advisable to create home design if you start to improve and renovate your home because this plan will really help you do the renovation step by step.
There are some people posted useful thought and some are not, but this, it is among the best post I’ve read. Simple but thoughtful.
The clarity in your post is simply cool and I could assume you’re an expert on this subject. As a first time visitor to your blog I am very impressed. Say thanks a lot for your efforts to have decided to put these things together on this blog. Continue with the great work on the site. Thank you.
For any project i do i usually find it best to track my budget.It a long time since i made some changes to my home, the colors on the walls are dull nowadays.I really need to plan for renovations and redecoration.
LOVE IT!
I have to say after going through it all page by page, this would be a great binder for any lady who is going through building a new home as well. We can get just as overwhelmed trying to keep track of it all. This could be used as is or could be tweaked a bit for a gal like me who is working with a wonderful company to build our home, but where I am still the Main person in charge (general contractor).
Awesome
This is just brilliant, printing as I type!
Thank you Laurie
This will give a good point to share and create your space to look new one.
It will guide to have a nice and interesting idea.

I will not let me print it either. I did the adobe download and got the google toolbar also. It still wont let me print it. I keep getting a pop up then when I X it out or push ok it goes around again and says recovery but then the pop up comes back. Until I finally lose your website. Oh well I dont know what I did wrong
DIY Home Renovations
I guess the first thing you need to identify are which home improvement ideas are suitable for DIY. While there are some structural renovations that are best left to the experts, you may be surprised how many home improvements you can do yourself. All you need to master are a few basic skills, and follow proven tips and techniques.
