Hi, we're Emma & Alex!

DIYErs | parents | chronic project starters

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!

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.
