Put your hand up if you’ve ever been personally victimized by paint stripper 🙋‍♀️

I don’t know if it’s user error but I never get the satisfying scrape like the furniture flippers do, just a sticky gooey mess 🫠

My scraper however never lets me down 😏

If it’s a flat surface I’m stripping, I will always reach for this guy first because it saves me so much time and messy clean up.

If you want to check it out comment “DIY” and I’ll send you the link to the one I use ☺️

⁉️ Common Qs:
• No you don’t need any arm strength, the sharp blade does the work for you!
• It’s fast, it took me under 5 minutes to strip the varnish from this coffee table
• Yes they make curved ones for details too!
• No the sound doesn’t bother me at all but it’s personal preference 😅

If you’re wondering why I spent a whole year building a garden when I don’t actually know how to garden…

You must be new here 😶👋
Hi, I’m Stacey, a professional daydreamer who believes you really can do just about anything when you set your mind to it.

My fixer-upper came with an old slab of concrete that was a total eyesore… but in my head, I always saw a romantic European garden overflowing with veggies and flowers 🥹🌸🌿🥕

After a year of hard work, I finally have my dream garden…
Now I just need to learn how to grow things 😶🌱

I could really use your help 😬🙏
If you started gardening as a total beginner, will you share your favorite methods in the comments?

I want advice from REAL people who learned by doing! how did you get started, and what tips would you give a total newbie?

And if you’ve ever dreamed of growing your own food or flowers but felt intimidated… follow along and let’s figure it out together 🥰🌱

It’s time to turn “I wish I could” into “I’m going to try” 🥹✨

My husband could NOT see the vision with this one 😂 but I could and it was a FREE FB marketplace find so it came home and now it’s my new project 💁‍♀️

It’s solid wood so I’m envisioning a dark stain but all those little intricate details are going to be a painnnn to sand 🥲 painting would be so much easier!

What’s your vote:

Would you paint this piece or stain it??

Your daydreams were never the problem… they were always your gift ✨💗

every wonderful, beautiful, magical thing you admire in this world began as someone’s daydream.

I don’t think daydreams are distractions. I think they’re direction.
Little glimpses of what’s possible when creativity meets courage.

Maybe it’s time to see where yours lead you 🥹🫶✨

🤯 @bonesandbuilds reminded me of my first proper DIY project I the other day and I realized that only 1% you were actually here to see it! 🤯

My entryway transformation was controversial for a few reasons, I had never picked up a saw before but I wanted to build a custom closet, I painted over my old slate tile floors andddd I drenched the entire room in black. 👀

Sure some of my decisions may be seen as unusual but every risk I took in this space was worth it imo! I started this room knowing nothing about DIY and came out the other end not only with a space that’s beautiful but that reminds me every day that I am more capable than I know.

Now I have a whole page dedicated to that exact message! I want other beginners to trust in their creativity and try something new. You never know what it will unlock! ✨

If you want a to join a community where we don’t hide our mistakes, we don’t pretend to be experts in everything, where it’s ok to be a beginner, I would love to have you join us 🥹🫶

I made these terracotta plant tags for my biggest DIY project yet, a Mediterranean garden made from concrete blocks - haven’t seen it? Check out my page, it’s pinned to the top! ☺️🌿🌸

I wanted a simple way to keep track of all my little seedlings this spring, but I also had a couple of requirements: they needed to feel as elegant as the rest of my garden, and I needed something I could make quickly and affordably. These clay tags ticked all the boxes!

Once sealed, the clay is durable and weather-resistant, so they won’t rot like wooden tags and I love that I can keep adding to my collection as my garden grows.

Follow along because the step by step tutorial will be out tomorrow! 🥰🌱

I was told to run a pipe across my yard 😬 so I built a river instead ✨

When I swapped our downspout for a rain chain, I knew proper drainage still mattered.
I just didn’t want the solution to be an eyesore.

So I created a dry river bed to guide water away from the house, protect our foundation, and turn a practical problem into something intentional (and a little magical 🥹💧🌿).

No heavy machinery, just a spade, an old pond liner, and some rocks. A functional solution that happens to look like a whimsical river 😍

If you’ve been stuck choosing between practical and beautiful… you don’t have to 😉

The internet was CONVINCED my house would flood if I swapped my downspout for a rain chain…
…but it was my old downspout that actually CAUSED water damage 😶🥲

Rain chains can work just as well as downspouts when they’re used correctly.
Here’s how to know if one is right for your home 🌧️

A rain chain is great if:
✅ Your ground is graded away from the house
✅ Water is directed intentionally (rain barrel, drain, or stone)
✅ You want something functional and beautiful

Not ideal if:
❌ Water pools near your foundation
❌ Drainage is poor and unmanaged
❌ Water needs to be moved far away ~without~ an extension

The big difference?
Downspouts are super easy to extend but let’s be honest, a giant pipe running across your yard isn’t exactly pretty 😬😅

Rain chains can be extended too, just without the eyesore.
I went all-in with the most whimsical option and built a dry river bed… because who doesn’t want their very own river 🥹💧✨

Full tutorial drops tomorrow so stay tuned! ☺️🫶

Real wood doors cost thousands, so this started as a little DIY experiment to see if I could fake the look on a budget. Turns out you can! and it’s way easier than it looks 👀✨

Gel stain dries slowly, which makes it super forgiving to work with. You can take your time, fix things as you go, and once I got into it, this project was actually really therapeutic.

👏 Just because it’s old, doesn’t mean you have to keep it! 🫠

Yep, I removed my vintage cast iron stove… it had to go 🤷‍♀️ Here’s why:

Those 60-year-old electrical components were a literal fire hazard! every time it was plugged in, the entire house would short-circuit and lose power! Nothing is worth risking my family’s safety for, not even vintage pieces.

Don’t worry, it’s not gone forever: a lovely lady on Facebook Marketplace is restoring it for her mountain cabin. 🏡💗 Around here, we don’t throw things away, even if we don’t want it, someone else usually does. Being wasteful is never the vibe.

And for anyone worried about the giant hole in the wall, fear not! I embraced the space and filled it with candles for the holidays! There’s something about these little flickering flames that makes the space feel magical, cozier than any fire could ever be. 😍 Maybe someday we’ll replace the stove, but for now, I’m loving my candle-filled hole in the wall.

Be honest, would you have risked it for the vintage stove, or are my candles starting to grow on you? 👀🕯️✨

I’m so over the idea that our homes have to fit into whatever trend cycle is currently screaming the loudest 🙄

Trends come and go, but the way your home makes you feel is what actually matters and that never goes out of style.

Don’t decorate for the next buyer.
Don’t decorate because somebody on the internet told you it’s “in” or “aesthetic.”
Decorate for the people who live there.
They’re the only ones whose opinion matters.

I was so intimidated to decorate this huge shelf and in the end I broke every rule and just went with my gut, no odd numbers, no perfect little vignettes, instead I packed this baby FULL of things that intrigue or inspire me. Some pieces have deep meaning, and some are simply pretty to look at and honestly? That’s okay too 😂🫶

Your home should feel like you, even if it’s weird, unexpected, or totally “wrong” by traditional design rules.

What’s one design choice in your home that you made just because it makes you happy? 👀👇

✨ Save this for the days you need a reminder that your home doesn’t have to follow the rules

My entryway is moody, cozy, and a thousand times more inviting to me than a bright space ever would’ve been. And this black paint? It has the most beautiful copper undertones. Paired with warm walnut stain and brass finishes… the whole space feels rich, luxurious, and full of depth.

Sometimes the “wrong” choice ends up being the perfect one. 🖤✨

✨ DIY Amber Ornament Tutorial ✨👇

1. Pop off the top of the ornament so you can get to the inside
2. Add a few drops of alcohol ink — the more you add, the richer the color will be
3. Swirl the ink around the ornament, keeping it moving until it’s completely dry for that smooth, blown-glass look
4. Use cool air from a hairdryer to speed up this process while you continue swirling
5. (Optional) Paint the ornament tops gold to compliment those warm amber tones

Enjoy your custom amber ornaments! 🥰🎄✨

Last Christmas my bestie @kaneshiromade flew across the country to visit me, and you know we had to squeeze in a festive DIY while she was here. ✨ Two DIY girlies, one cozy weekend, and a whole lot of Christmas magic 🥹

If this gave you a little inspiration:
⭐ Follow for more easy DIYs
⭐ Save this tutorial for later
⭐ Share with a friend who loves Christmas crafts

Since you’ve made it this far here’s an extra tip for you! ✨ applying multiple layers or alternating the color of the ink will create a pretty marble like effect so don’t be afraid to play around with this technique!

I’d love to see an emerald green version of these ornaments 😍 will you try this Christmas DIY?

I just found the most for Christmas! It moves!!
😶✨

No plumbing. No wiring. No DIY experience needed! 🙌

Just two pots, a solar pump, and a little imagination and now it’s the most peaceful finishing touch to my DIY Mediterranean garden. ⛲️✨

The best part? It runs completely off sunlight, which means no wires and no outlet needed. It’s honestly one of those projects that looks expensive but couldn’t be easier to make.

🔗 If you want the step-by-step tutorial (plus the exact solar pump I used and why), comment DIY below and I’ll send it straight to your inbox.

Would you try something like this in your garden?
