Have you ever wondered where to start? The answer Have you ever wondered where to start?  The answer is right here!  I’ve spent the last few months writing a DIY beginner E-book to help you start your journey to learning a new skill!  The book covers what tools you need and what to use them for, flipping furniture, different types of cuts, pocket hole jigs, tips and tricks—everything you need to know to confidently tackle your first projects!  I also have included 10 easy to follow starter projects that can be modified to create custom pieces for your home!  Comment BOOK to have the link sent to you!  #beginnerdiy #ebook #diy #diyer #diyforbeginners #starterproject
✨SAVE FOR LATER✨ A project that I thought wou ✨SAVE FOR LATER✨ 
A project that I thought would take me a week took me 4. Does that happen to you?? Oh well, I’m thankful it’s done and love how it turned out. I’m glad I was brave and went for the floral fabric. Do you love it as much as me or is it not your thing? Let me know in the comments!  #diyer #builtinbench #diybench #diningroombench #womenwhobuild
Something that used to stop me was not knowing wha Something that used to stop me was not knowing what to do about a vent that was in the way of my project. Don’t let it stop you!  Save this for when you might need it! 
And yes, I am very proud of that musical interlude 🤣 #sheslikethewind #diytips #diyer #diyhvac #diy #diybuiltins
Tell me something about you! I may be incredibly Tell me something about you!  I may be incredibly impatient, a procrastinator, very unorganized (i found out only a day before that it is my daughter’s spring break this week 😬), but I’m here to support and encourage you to pick up a tool and learn how to create a home you love!  Don’t just sit there, let’s learn and grow together! (If you want to that is! Otherwise just enjoy the show!) Join me for *almost* daily stories! #diyer #diy #womenwhobuild
Going viral is a blessing and a curse. And not tha Going viral is a blessing and a curse. And not that it matters but the library wall will be full of books at some point, so chill people. #diyer #womenwhobuild
I love a quick furniture flip sometimes! They are I love a quick furniture flip sometimes!  They are a great beginner project and can really transform something old into something brand new!  Normally I don’t do furniture flips in the winter because it is too cold for the paint to dry correctly. Thanks to my new @heatstormheaters I’m now nice and toasty while doing my projects and I can paint in my garage again! #gifted.

If you followed along in stories, you know that th If you followed along in stories, you know that this tile gave me a lot of trouble. Why did I think a 3D tile would be a good choice for my second time tiling?  I have no idea. But I’m so glad I stuck with it, because the result is so worth it!  What do you think? Was this tile worth the trouble??  Tile: @maniscalcostone Pyramid in Bone  #diybacksplash #backsplashtile #myinspiringinterior #diyer #coffeebar #diybuiltins

ETA: 1. There will be books on the shelves. 2. Y ETA: 1. There will be books on the shelves. 
2.  Yes, I should have been using a push stick on the table saw. I mistakenly thought since the blade was low I would be fine, learn from this mistake!
3.  Everything is secured to studs
4. Yes, I could have built this from scratch but not everyone has those skills, using IKEA makes it more accessible and easier for people without a ton of tools. 
5. Will the IKEA last forever? Maybe not, but then I will rebuild it🤷‍♀️  My #1 project of 2022 was my sisters IKEA Hack library wall!  I’ve had so many questions about this wall!  The good news is there is a full tutorial on my blog so go check it out!! Thank you all for being here and following along with me this year!  I feel so honored that so many of you choose to spend your time watching my videos, leaving me comments and sending me DMs. ❤️. Can’t wait for you to see what I have in store for next year. See ya in 2023!

Project 2 of 2022! Tessa’s tropical bedroom make Project 2 of 2022! Tessa’s tropical bedroom makeover! I love this space so much and so does Tessa. Girl bedrooms are seriously the most fun to design! #diy #diyer #myinspiringinterior #beforeandafter #roomideas #roomtransformation #roommakeover #woodworkingwomen #momswhobuild #womanwoodworker #womenwhobuild #homesohard #mycrumbshome #hgtvhandmadehome #hgtvhandmade #interiordesign #diyideas #apartmenttherapy #diyhomeprojects #thosebeforeafterideas #girlbedroom #girlbedroomdecor #bedroommakeover
Project 3 of 2022! My parents guest room! Obvious Project 3 of 2022! My parents guest room!  Obviously my parents choose my sister’s room for me to make over instead of my room because they couldn’t bear to see my room change, right?! Right?!? I think that’s probably why 😏. I choose to embrace the honey oak in this room because it’s a real where do you stop situation if I was going to paint it. Personally, I think honey oak has never looked better. What do you think?  Come back for project #2 tomorrow! #diy #diyer #myinspiringinterior #beforeandafter #roomideas #roomtransformation #roommakeover #woodworkingwomen #momswhobuild #womanwoodworker #womenwhobuild #homesohard #mycrumbshome #hgtvhandmadehome #hgtvhandmade #interiordesign #diyideas #apartmenttherapy #diyhomeprojects #thosebeforeafterideas #guestbedroom #bedroommakeover #beforeandafter
Project 4 is Elsie’s room makeover! There was a Project 4 is Elsie’s room makeover!  There was a lot of controversy when I took down the old wallpaper and batten wall and declared DO NOT USE LIQUID NAILS! But I still stand by that despite all the professionals telling my otherwise. It just causes such a mess and I will never do it to myself again!  Anyway, I loved this project but more importantly, Elsie loved it!  #diy #diyer #myinspiringinterior #beforeandafter #roomideas #roomtransformation #roommakeover #woodworkingwomen #momswhobuild #womanwoodworker #womenwhobuild #homesohard #mycrumbshome #hgtvhandmadehome #hgtvhandmade #interiordesign #diyideas #apartmenttherapy #diyhomeprojects #thosebeforeafterideas #girlroommakeover #wallpaper #diybed #diylight #furnitureflip #diyvanity #scallopwall
Project 5: my coffee bar! I love this project so m Project 5: my coffee bar! I love this project so much, not only because I love coffee, but because the space is now efficiently hiding the art supply mess!  I hated walking past this spot before but now it is LOVE. I can’t wait to finish it with some tile in the New Year! #diycoffeebar #coffeebar #diycabinets #functionalstorage #diy #diyer #myinspiringinterior #beforeandafter #roomideas #roomtransformation #roommakeover #woodworkingwomen #momswhobuild #womanwoodworker #womenwhobuild #homesohard #mycrumbshome #hgtvhandmadehome #hgtvhandmade #interiordesign #diyideas #apartmenttherapy #diyhomeprojects #thosebeforeafterideas
Project 6 of 2022 is my sister’s dining area! I’m so happy that I was able to give her and her kids a place to eat dinner and add some functional storage! If I’m being honest I think I would have picked a different paint color but that’s easy enough to change! What do you think? Would you have picked a different color or do you like what I chose?  #diy #diningroommakeover #beforeandafter #builtinbench

Don't miss a thing!

Thank you!

I made over my sister’s dining area last summer by building a bench seat and adding an accent wall. But she didn’t have a table, so I of course had to build her one! Building a dining table might seem…
