Hello
Welcome to my DIY condo renovation journey! I'm taking on the challenge of transforming my small condo into a cozy and functional space. Join me as I document every step of the process, from the planning stage to the final reveal. My goal is to inspire and guide others who are considering a similar project. I'll share my triumphs, challenges, and lessons learned along the way, as well as all the details of the products and materials I've used. So grab a cup of coffee (or hot cocoa in my case), sit back, and follow me on my journey to create my dream home!
My Story
When I bought my condo in 2022, I was filled with excitement and nerves. However, after dealing with a less than satisfactory contractor and financially exhausted from closing costs, I found myself feeling discouraged and without a plan to make my space truly reflect my personal style. But, I decided to take matters into my own hands and embark on a DIY renovation journey.
​
As a beginner DIYer, I don't have a background in carpentry but I am determined to make it work. Thanks to a thoughtful housewarming gift of a Ryobi tool set, I was able to get started on my renovation projects right away. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the feeling of empowerment that comes with tackling a project you never thought was possible.
​
Of course, there have been moments of frustration and self-doubt, but that's all part of the journey. The key is to keep pushing forward, doing the best you can, and embracing the imperfections along the way. Trust me, the pride you'll feel from completing a project on your own is worth every drop of sweat and tear.
So, whether you're a seasoned DIY pro or just starting out like me, I hope you'll follow along as I transform my dated condo into a space that truly reflects my personal style, one project at a time.
