Hi, I’m Renee!

Hi, I’m Renee!

I'm a single gal from Texas who's DIY renovating my first home solo and inspiring others to take on hard things 🖤

DIY air vent screens complete! ✨ Designing arou DIY air vent screens complete! ✨

Designing around constraints is tricky but so satisfying. Sure, if you had lots of money, you could reconfigure an entire floor plan, but what if you can’t? I love challenges like that because it forces me to find creative solutions. And I think these camouflaged air returns turned out pretty dang good!

What do you think… is it convincing camouflage?? 🦎

I still can’t get over this plaid wainscoting. It makes such a big impact when you walk in the home! As it should, since it took me probably 100 hours total 😅

I hope you love this transformation as much as I do! And… what do you think of the wallpaper?? 🌳🤍
