Hobbies to Take Up at Home

Are you eager to show off your hidden art talent? Do you (not so) secretly think you can win a challenge or two on Top Chef? With more time to spend in your Beacon homenow’s your moment to shine. From your gourmet kitchen and open-concept living area to your patio and flex space, the open areas in your home are perfect for taking up a new hobby! Take a look at a few of our favorites to try this spring:

If you like to cook and eat…

Ah, the joy of cooking in a gorgeous kitchen. With a large, modern island, spacious cabinetry, brand new appliances, and so much more, your kitchen is where all the magic happens. From unique and challenging meal recipestofun mealsyour kids will love making with you, channel your favorite foodie personality (are you more of an Ina or a Gordon?) and start practicing your chef skills to impress the whole family!

If you like to write…

To write or not to write… that is the question. No, you don’t have to become the next Shakespeare, but there are so many different ways to exercise your writing muscles and reap the therapeutic benefits of writing. Try your hand at fiction, poetry, personal essays, and more. There areonline classes that can guide youalong the way. Have a funny pet or a unique hobby? Start a blog! (We may be biased, but we’re big fans of blogs.)

If you like arts and crafts…

There’s nothing quite like finding a cozy, quiet spot and diving into an arts and crafts project. If you were the kid who went above and beyond in art class, bring that magic back into your life and create something new. Fromscrapbookingtoadult coloring booksand paint by numberstoDIY crafts and everything in between, there are so many projects out there waiting for your creative touch.

If you like to learn…

Want to take a business management course from Wharton? How about the history of American sign language from Georgetown? Now you can take an intellectually stimulating online class from the country’s top institutionsfrom the comfort of your couch! Whatever it is you’ve always wanted to learn (computer science, world literature, you name it) you finally can — on your own time. And did we mention these classes are “tuition free?”

If you like entertainment…

With streaming services, you have a whole world of 24/7 entertainment at your fingertips (literally). If you’re a film or TV buff, there’s no better time to dive into the all-time classics and modern masterpieces. Whether you put together a “bucket list” of what to watch, have virtual film/TV clubs with your friends, study a particular director, style, or genre, or even write your own reviews, there are so many ways to enjoy entertainment.
