Meet Kelsi!

I live in the midwest with my husband Chris and our two dogs, Boomer & Nala. When we moved into our home, I began turning it into our dream home one DIY project at a time. I started with a handful of everyday tools and the desire to complete projects by myself.

Room after room I have taken an average space and made it unique and chic while sharing my journey along the way. I love a good challenge and finding ways to complete new home projects in ways that are achievable for you no matter what your skill or experience level is.

In the male-dominated home project world, I strive to show women like you that you’re more than capable of tackling anything – especially creating your dream home all by yourself! 

I’m all about breaking down those “how-to” barriers and providing you with the knowledge to complete DIY projects. All while using your existing tools and skills. I cover everything from countertops and cabinets to accent walls and paint projects. 

From chic design to hammering out the DIY, I’ll guide you in bringing your dream spaces to life. 

Every DIY’er has to start somewhere.
