# Bucket list ideas to do at home with what you have

Staying home does not rule out a memorable experience. These ideas turn a familiar room, kitchen or collection of photographs into the setting for something deliberate. Some take an afternoon; others become a small project over several evenings. None requires a trip to another country.

## How to choose

Choose an idea that suits your space and the people you share it with. Check what you already own before buying a kit. A completed digital book, small drawing or shared draft counts; expensive printing and equipment are choices, not requirements.

## 9 ideas to explore

Open an idea for its practical plan and add it to your list if it fits.
