About Me:
I'm an avid DIYer and have been at it for many years. I'm also a thrifter and love saving money by hunting down treasures and fixing them up, repurposing them without breaking the bank. Anyone can have a pretty space on a budget! My blog documents my newest project, fixing up a 1979 fixer-upper house that I'll be moving into this Fall. My dad and I are doing most of the work ourselves and it is a true labor of love. I just may be more proud of this house than any other that I've lived it, sweat equity will do that! I have big plans to make it beautiful, all on a budget.
Favorite area of home improvement:
Thrifting and redoing old furniture with paint, finding ways to save money by DIYing it. I love to learn new things constantly.
