Welcome, I’m so grateful you’re here!
Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m an Ohio girl living the dream with my husband, two daughters, and a never-ending list of DIY projects.
My love for building and creating started young—I grew up watching my dad tackle anything and everything with a hammer and a can-do attitude.
It didn’t take long for me to catch the bug and start turning big ideas into even bigger messes (but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?).
Now, I’m here to help you jump straight into building something amazing. Whether you’re itching to pick up that power drill or just tired of unfinished projects piling up, I’ve got the plans, tips, and humor to make the whole DIY thing less stressful—and way more fun.
What This Website Offers
Ever stared at a pile of wood and thought, “Now what?” Yeah, me too. That’s why I created this site—to help you go from “What am I doing?” to “Look what I built!”
Here, you’ll find woodworking plans that are actually beginner-friendly (no 40-page manuals in ancient carpenter lingo). Whether you’re building a custom cabinet, a electric fireplace, or even your first simple shelf, I’ve got you covered with clear instructions, pro tips, and a few “learn from my mistakes” moments to save you the headache.
But it’s not just about the plans. I’ll share tips and tricks to make your DIY projects smoother—because nobody wants to spend three hours sanding only to realize they’ve been using the wrong grit. You’ll also find budget-friendly hacks, time-saving shortcuts, and real talk about what it’s like to dive into the world of sawdust and power tools.
Oh, and we’ll keep it fun around here. Because DIY is supposed to be enjoyable—even when you accidentally glue your fingers together. (No judgment—I’ve been there.)
So, if you’re ready to tackle that next project, learn a thing or two, and maybe laugh along the way, you’re in the right place. Let’s turn those Pinterest dreams into reality, one power tool at a time.
