DIY 🛠️

By AllisonSkiff

Everything I use for DIY projects like painting, wallpaper and basic woodworking.

A DIY paint job can look just as good as a professional one... the difference is usually just the tools.

I’ve been painting for over 20 years (my college job was painting the exterior of condos!) and in my current house I’ve tackled walls, trim, ceilings, cabinets, you name it. The number one thing I see people get wrong isn’t their technique, it’s that they’re doing every single job with the same basic brush.

Here’s my roster and what I use each tool for:

A paint edger for crisp lines with no tape. I find these best for vertical surfaces...ceilings were a little tough to get the pressure right.

A sprayer for that ultra smooth, professional finish. I used mine for my kitchen cabinets as well as my dentil crown molding which was very detailed.

A lidded paint cup so you can pick up where you left off without cleaning everything out. Usually most projects require 2 coats and a days worth of drying time. These have been so handy!

And paint pens for the touch-ups that would otherwise require breaking out the whole setup again.

These aren’t fancy, they’re just the right tools for the right job.

Save this before your next paint project & follow for more DIY tips & tricks!

Whether you’re the person who genuinely enjoys a fresh coat of paint or the one who just wants it finished without the chaos, this tool is for you.

I’ve painted enough rooms in this house to have strong opinions about what works and this is the one thing I wish I’d had from the start. It cut my time in half, gave me an even, smooth finish and the thing i didn’t expect — no splatter. Not on the floor, not on the trim, not on me.

If you have a project coming up, save yourself the mess.

If you’re removing baseboards grab one of these pry tools instead of an actual pry bar. It will save your drywall and make it a bit easier than it would be otherwise!

Removing baseboards with this little multi use tool. So handy for removing and for smoothing caulk! #diy #homeimprovement #tools #renovation

I loved this table but the black finish was not it.

I was this 🤏 close to getting rid of it… but decided for one last Hail Mary before calling it quits. And I’m so glad I did!

Now it finally has that warm wood tone I wanted and actually fits my space.

If you’ve been thinking about replacing something you already own, try this first.

Tagging what I used here for you!

Save this for later if you have a piece you’ve been thinking about updating.

#sponsored I avoided drilling into concrete for YEARS because I thought it was complicated.

Using the Titen Turbo Screw Anchor by @strongtie made this garage wall upgrade way more approachable than I expected, and now everything is finally off the floor.

If you’ve been intimidated by masonry walls, this is your sign to change that.

If you’ve ever wondered which Rub ‘n Buff brass to grab… this is for you.

A couple years ago I tested every brass tone on the same knob so I could see the difference side-by-side, and I always come back to this video.

Some are warm and vintage. Some lean antique and moody. Some are bright and almost polished.

A quick tip: the undertone matters more than you think when you’re pairing with wood, paint colors, or existing fixtures. My favorite combo is starting with a black base and topping with a combo of European Gold + Gold Leaf (yes you can mix them!). It gives a more patina look with the dark base.

Save this before your next hardware refresh — it’ll save you a second trip to the store.

This magnetic door stopper just solved my biggest pet peeve 🚪✨

If you’re sick of doors slamming or bouncing off traditional stoppers, this is the easiest 5-minute upgrade. No tools, no drama — just a clean click every time the magnet catches (deeply satisfying).

It comes in brass, white, and black, so it actually looks intentional not like an afterthought.

The best part about this DIY bathroom vanity flip is there was no stripping or sanding required. Do I have your attention now?

Were you here for this one? During the primary bathroom renovation, I completely transformed my black bathroom vanity into a rich walnut finish for just $105 🙌

The end result looks like a whole new piece! This is such an easy way to update a builder-grade vanity or thrifted furniture without spending thousands on a replacement.

A full tutorial is live on my website if that’s helpful!

Rounding up my favorite painting tools from Handy Paint Pail. They’ve made painting, clean up and the process in general so much more enjoyable. If you do nothing else, invest in the paint cup with the lid. It’s the best! #diy #diytools #painting #paint

Everything was going too smoothly… until my paint sprayer turned on me. 🤦‍♀️ One wrong-way nozzle and suddenly I’m pressure-washing primer onto my dentil molding and wiping drips for hours. A humbling moment in an otherwise dreamy transformation.

The silver lining? I’m using the new flat eggshell finish @farrowandball for my topcoat and it’s going to be my saving grace. I used the same finish in my primary bathroom and loved how durable it was, but it’s also soft enough to help disguise those tiny primer mishaps I definitely didn’t catch. A win for both beauty and forgiveness.

For the trim work and walls I went with Joa’s White - the perfect saturated warm cream that’s already making me swoon. For the ceiling I went a couple shades lighter with the color Dimity and it’s proving to be the perfect compliment.

Every DIYer has their fair share of mistakes, even if they’re embarrassing to share publicly. What’s your take on this? Do you want to see more of the real mistakes… or just the satisfying reveals?
