You all know I take safety seriously in my shop, so what better way to show the DIYer in your life that you care about them than to get them some PPE to keep them safe? Not only do we want function but we also want comfort and style. So I’ve put together this list

In November of 2020, we published a post called “What’s It Like To Downsize” after living in our smaller home for 6 months. We covered a range of experiences – like the good things about moving to a smaller home (owning less stuff! saving money!) and some of its challenges, especially in the initial stages
I had so much fun working on today’s project. I’m going to show you how I built this DIY mini bar cart! I built a bar cart a while back (here) and I love it, but I wanted to modify that design to create a smaller version that can double as a side table, plus
In my last blog post I started the makeover for my attic home office by taking down a half wall, putting in new flooring, painting the walls and upgrading the lighting to smart lighting. But there was still so much to do. My friend Charlotte from @atcharlotteshouse came to help me finish this project and
Dyeing your clothes can sound difficult, messy, and downright scary. But guess what? It’s none of those things! After all, I’m the girl who dyed her wedding dress so I could wear it again. Trust me, anyone can dye clothes at home because it’s easy, straightforward, and crazy affordable. And it’s a great way to
In an effort to not completely blow the budget on my shop renovations I decided to refinish the concrete floors myself. I had to contract out some of the other work for my shop which ended up costing way more than I was expecting. The quote I got for hiring this job out was $1,050.
I love a good organization project, especially one that is easy for a beginner woodworker (you know those are my fave type of projects). Today I’m teaming up with Kreg to share this DIY hat rack. Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Kreg. All opinions are my own. This hat rack would be perfect for
Inspired by Jon at Lincoln St. Woodworks, my dad and I challenged each other to a build off. He has always wanted to make a river table and I had a slab lying around that needed to be made into a coffee table. So I called up my friends at Total Boat and asked if
This simple method for cleaning a stainless steel sink is quite literally my favorite household cleaning task. I am not exaggerating. It is SO easy, SO simple, and SO SO SO effective. It requires no special or harsh cleaners and will restore your sink to its original sparkle within minutes. Sherry tried this method first
We’ve refinished hardwood floors in 5 of the 6 homes we’ve owned. That doesn’t make us professional floor refinishers, but as homeowners and DIYers, we’ve developed expertise for what to expect, what pitfalls to look out for, and how much refinishing your hardwood floors might cost. So in this post, we’ll answer all of your
I love fun little decorative DIY projects, and today’s project fits that category. I’m sharing all the details on this DIY wall sconce. Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Kreg. All opinions are my own. I’ve teamed up with Kreg to share the build plans over on their site, so be sure to check that
Believe it or not, some companies have already begun to announce their 2025 Color of the Year! Since we love tracking and predicting these selections each year, we thought we’d start a post to keep track of each selection as they come out (which would be much easier to reference the following year when we
Caution, this project has all the feels! The time has come to transform the first home of the DIY Huntress YouTube Channel into a happy place for the guy who helped me make it happen. My dad and I built this 12×12 shed shop from the ground up about 6 years ago and there have
My little brother got engaged, closed on his first house and then went on vacation with his fiancé. What a life right? While he was gone my family and I were demoing the lower level of his house but I thought I would be the best big sister and also surprise him with a bedroom
Today’s project is a super easy beginner woodworking project (we know I love those). I’m sharing how to build this DIY bathtub tray! Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Kreg. All opinions are my own. This tray is 38″ long to custom fit my own bathtub, but make sure you measure the width of your
Now that my garage shop is built out precisely to my liking, it’s time to get things organized. Especially in a small space it’s so important for tools and supplies to have their dedicated space, otherwise it starts to feel cluttered so quickly. This is actually the second time I’ve organized my shop, last time was
I’ve partnered with my friends over at Kreg again to bring you a simple beginner woodworking project! I’m sharing this DIY tabletop book holder. Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Kreg. All opinions are my own. This little book holder can be modified to any length or color you choose, and it would be great
Do you have a creepy basement too? This laundry room project is part of my basement renovation series and it’s a major upgrade to our home. Before this project our basement was dark and uninviting. Well, it was very inviting to our clutter, somehow there were donation bags just living down there. But I wanted
