About Me:
My name's Stephanie and I'm a first time homeowner in New England DIY-ing my way through LGH with the help of my main man Matt and our 4 roommates (Dutch the Dog & Luigi, Zsa Zsa, and Henry the cats). I hop all over the house painting here and reupholstering there and adjusting this, I just can't seem to stay in one place for long. My only rule: it's gotta be CHEAP.
Favorite area of home improvement:
DIY, repurposing
