STOP SCROLLING. START BUILDING.
Build furniture and DIY a home you love for a fraction of retail prices. But before you start, there are some things you need to know. This guide will shorten your DIY learning curve and help you build more impressive things with less frustration.
DIY WITH CONFIDENCE.

- See the look on your friends' faces when they ask, "where did you buy that?" and you reply "I made that"
- Confidently strut into Home Depot knowing exactly what wood type and size you need for your next project (plot twist: a 1x2 board does not measure 1" x 2")
- Skip countless hours of frustration and confusion trying to figure out all the things your online plans assume you already know
- Know the key steps to make your projects look professional, not homemade or amateurish
- Create a home that your family loves to be in, a space that's cozy, welcoming, and a reflection of you without breaking your budget

Hey there, I'm Zoe.
And I know exactly what it's like to want to build your own furniture, but not know where to start.
You see, I've always had expensive taste and never had the budget to match. I wanted to create a beautiful home and didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on furniture that wouldn't last. DIY seemed like a great solution, but had no idea where to start. And I was afraid of power tools, so how would that work?
Eventually, I just dove in. I made plenty of mistakes, but now, power tools are my therapy and how I create my dream home on a budget. Since I've picked up my first power tool, my work has even been featured in places like TODAY and Apartment Therapy.
So if you're scared to get started, know that you can learn to make amazing things too. It's my mission to help as many people as possible discover the power of DIY. I want to teach you everything I know so that you can dive in and avoid the common mistakes that prevent some folks from loving DIY.
"Thank you for taking the time to lay it out step by step. I love all your tips!"

DON'T I NEED A LOT OF EXPENSIVE TOOLS TO BUILD FURNITURE?
No way. We’re not trying to be intense woodworkers with tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment. We’re trying to save money by building our own furniture and tackling home DIY projects. In the guide, I’ll cover the 5 power tools that will get you through 95% of DIY projects.
And don’t think that means you need them all at once. What you’ll need varies on a project-by-project basis, so I’ll lay out what tools you’ll want first if you’re looking to build furniture vs. adding accent walls.
If you don’t want to invest in power tools right away, that’s okay too. You can borrow tools from friends and family, or look into rental options from your local home improvement stores.
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE POWER TOOLS...
Neither did I! We all have to start somewhere. I won’t teach you how exactly to use your tools because every brand and model is different, but I will walk you through exactly how I learned to use power tools and give you some general tips I’ve learned over the years. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to learn how to use your specific brand and tool.
