Hi, we're Emma & Alex!

We started DIYing when we bought our first house in 2019 and now we've renovated three houses because we had the audacity to start then had to figure out how to get it done.

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

We don’t have space for a mudroom or proper entryway and these shoe bins in our playroom were out of control. Also everyone would be sprawled out on the floor trying to get shoes on at the door with nowhere to sit then I found this (perfectly sized) bench that fixes both problems. 
I just chucked it in place for now but how should I finish it? Paint? Sand it back?

Do you ever wonder what kind of crazy nickname som Do you ever wonder what kind of crazy nickname some friend group out there has about an interaction with you? Because we bring up the Facebook marketplace sh*tter a lot around here and it’s like a quantifier of how bad a day you’re having. 

I do truly feel bad for that guy but oof, I don’t think he expected to leave with a couch and a new thing to think about every night as he falls asleep. 
What’s the worst marketplace experience you’ve had? I actually don’t even think this is my worst one 😅

We decided to have a girls outing this weekend and she requested a fun drink and painting in the park so I added in some thrifting for my input and phew this day had me like a dog hearing all its favourite words.
