We're here to share what we've learned and hopefully inspire you to start, too!

Fellow Type B DIYers: what’s the most unhinged t Fellow Type B DIYers: what’s the most unhinged thing you’ve used to stir paint?

Fully aware this is maybe how everyone approaches Fully aware this is maybe how everyone approaches their punch list(?), but not me until now and I feel like it’s made the last 5% of our kitchen renovation feel so much less overwhelming for my ADHD brain.

I’ve been on a journey to make my own cafe curta I’ve been on a journey to make my own cafe curtains because I needed a little bit of softness and whimsy in my kitchen renovation and despite feeling very overwhelmed for a bit in the middle there I feel like these turned out so cute (if you aren’t tooo close)!
