For the past 18 months, most of us have spent countless hours confined to our homes. And along the way, we've picked up new and unexpected hobbies.

We saw the rise of virtual book clubs, a return of knitting, and of course, viral https://www.mamamia.com.au/chrissy-teigen-spicy-carbonara/ TikTok pasta recipes.

But perhaps the most popular hobby of all in lockdown has been home renovation.

Here’s exactly what the horoscopes were like in self isolation. Post continues below.

We decided to take a look at some of the ways women have revamped or renovated their homes during lockdown.

From DIY kitchens to pervy organisational hacks, here’s what 33 women have done.

Shanleigh

“This is my brother’s first home. For his birthday, we revamped his bedroom as a surprise (he works FIFO so we could sneak in). It was difficult to do as the family had to go to his house in stages to build furniture, paint and decorate because we couldn’t be all together due to isolation rules. Needless to say, he loved it!”

"I decluttered and organised all of my kids LEGO, puzzles, and board games as they were items we were accumulating much more of during isolation."

Kate

"We have done heaps in isolation! We always seemed to have either the cash, but no time... or the time, but no cash. We’re lucky to still have work, and the extra time has allowed us to paint our little cottage and continue our renovations."

Tempany

"We did a DIY laundry renovation for under $80! We made a plywood benchtop and covered it with oak look vinyl wrap, re-painted and used old shelving, and used Kmart items to style! Super simple and cost-effective!"

Tatiana @inspireddecorbytatiana

"Here are a few of my recent organisational projects. All the laundry items (including the laundry unit) are from Kmart as is everything in the kids area and the desk. The fridge is a mix of containers from Decor and my local variety shop. Organisation can definitely be budget-friendly."

Kate

"We bought a house pre-COVID and had to move in before making any renovations so we had to do some serious handiwork to get it liveable. We've never done anything like this before, loved it!"
