Whether you love or hate your carport, we bet you'll be excited to learn how you can give it some serious style. Laura Gummerman, one of the creative gurus at A Beautiful Mess, moved to a new home in which the carport was unfortunately located adjacent to the outdoor patio.

In keeping with the home's mid-century theme, she went with a striking geometric pattern. While the project requires some serious elbow grease, you can complete it in a single weekend. Check out the dramatic before and after pictures below, and then head to A Beautiful Mess to learn exactly how you can fashion a DIY mid-century trellis for your own home.
