Meet Kelsi!

In the male-dominated home project world, I strive to show women like you that you’re more than capable of tackling anything – especially creating your dream home all by yourself! 

I’m all about breaking down those “how-to” barriers and providing you with the knowledge to complete DIY projects. All while using your existing tools and skills. I cover everything from countertops and cabinets to accent walls and paint projects. 

From chic design to hammering out the DIY, I’ll guide you in bringing your dream spaces to life. 

Every DIY’er has to start somewhere.
