Umm...did you see the fiasco in stores where I lug

Umm...did you see the fiasco in stores where I lugged this whole mattress up the stairs SOLO 💪 it wasn’t glamorous but we did it 🙈

I’m SO excited to finally have replaced my college mattress with this one from @purple — I picked the premiere 3 and couldn’t be happier. Phase 1 of this room refresh is complete and this room got SO much comfy-er

[sponsored] if you also need a new mattress, purple has a Memorial Day sale coming up and you can get $400 off the mattress bundle 😱 pop into my stories for the link

P.s. I definitely recommend you find a friend to help when it’s time to carry it upstairs and roll it out

GUESS WHAT?! season 2 of the #FurnitureFlipChallen

GUESS WHAT?! season 2 of the #FurnitureFlipChallenge has officially kicked off and I don’t have a project yet 🙈 I’m on a mission to secure a modern table for my breakfast nook (tune in to stories to see how it’s going 😔)

we’ve got 3 weeks to flip a piece of furniture and have the pieces judged by the editor of @doityourselfmagazine, Brian Kramer — we’ll also be going live each Friday with him for some Q&A 🙌

I’m so pumped to be hosting for a second time with @eyeinthedetail 👩🏻‍🔧👩🏼‍🔧 and also super jealous that she already has her piece picked out (hint: 🎹)

Grab your pieces & go sign up at @thebuilderschallenge so you can flip along with us 👊

p.s. I have big plans to try a SUPER risky finish on my table using @masepoxies — so stay tuned to see if it works 😲 IF I nail it, it’s gonna be next level

[ad] I tricked myself into whipping this space together by breaking it down into phases — first up was decluttering + adding some storage units from @wayfair to give me some workable organization 👊

I also treated myself to a super cute rug because it was under $40 and I EARNED IT 🙌 phase 2 i’m tackling new light fixtures, jewelry organization and maybe an accent ceiling so stay tuned!

p.s. pop over to the blog post for all the deets & links for this phase 1 before & after

HOW I GOT STARTED 👩🏻‍🔧 i get this quest

HOW I GOT STARTED 👩🏻‍🔧 i get this question all the time — I haven’t really told my full story because it felt heavy, but I think it’s time to share.

My dad was a home builder + electrical contractor and growing up we always built wild science fair projects together and he showed me the power of tools to bring ideas to life.

After loosing him to cancer 💔 I decided to dive in without fear and teach myself how to transform my first home — tackling projects SOLO — since he wasn’t there to teach me how.

I was raised to know that girls can do anything 💪 I’m teaching mine the same, and I’m here to help you learn too! Follow along for tutorials + projects and let’s cheer each other on through epic diys! @neverskipbrunch

p.s. my other favorite part of this journey has been meeting my bestie @eyeinthedetail — that story is hilarious so we’ll share that soon too 👩🏻‍🔧👩🏼‍🔧
