I’m a DIY home renovator with a love for interior design.

I come from a long line of home-project-do’ers.  

I watched my parents and grandparents build garages, demo rooms, paint exteriors, make house additions, add windows, replace flooring, renovate kitchens and bathrooms, etc. All on their own. 

Most of the time I got put to work too.

So when my husband and I bought our first home in Texas in 2020, it wasn’t long before we were knee-deep in a full bathroom renovation. 

It was the first time I took on a DIY renovation of my own. And I fell in love with the whole process–taking a mood board idea and implementing it in real life.

Learning how to tile a bathroom floor, building a shower from scratch, picking out coordinating bathroom hardware, and seeing how all the little design elements work together to create a damn good looking room. 

I loved the work, yes, but I loved the design process even more.

Our friends and family watching us kept asking, how are you doing that?! 

So I started sharing what we were doing (and how we were doing it), and found a whole community of DIY’ers and home design friends who loved doing these projects too. 

After moving 8 times in 10 years, in 2022 we moved our family to Northern Colorado into the the worst house on the block… 

An abandoned, poorly flipped, former hoarder home with a backyard full of trash and a flooded basement. 

Sounds dreamy, right?

The thing is… I believe you can make any house a home, with the right home design principles in hand.
