I bought my home in May 2021 and didn't even know how to use a drill. Now, I'm a proud power tool nerd sharing my love of self-taught DIY and design with others ๐
In 2025, my sister Brittany joined me full-time to work on renovations in a weekly YouTube series called Reno Sisters!
For regular updates on my latest renovation projects and designs, follow me @ReneeRenovates on social media ๐๐ป
My name is Renee, and Iโm a single gal in Texas renovating and designing my first home.
Hi, welcome!
I learned everything from observing other DIYers on Instagram and hundreds of hours of research and trial and error. You can do the same, or if you want a leg up, you can check out my DIY Renovation for Beginners course!
How did you learn to do all of this yourself?
Frequently Asked Questions
First and foremost, to save money! As a solo homeowner, I have to pinch pennies wherever I can. But once I started doing projects myself, I learned that I love the work. Plus, itโs so empowering to walk in a beautiful finished room and think to myself, โYep. I did that!โ ๐ช๐ผ
Why DIY instead of hiring out?
Because I have an old house (built in 1914), I try to incorporate a lot of traditional elements and antiques into every room. But I also love mixing and matching with different eras and styles. And I love color. If I had to describe my design, Iโd call it Whimsical Traditional. I love unique thrifted decor and mixing old with new. You can follow my Pinterest boards to see where I get my inspiration from.
Where do you get Design inspiration?
I like to send out a quick email newsletter with a sneak peek of something happening behind the scenes. I tend to share more personal tidbits about my life there, too. You can sign up for my newsletter here.
Iโm invested now. How do I learn more?
