This post on installing a staircase handrail in my basement is brought to you by The Home Depot. Since moving into this old 1973 house nearly 10 years ago, I’ve done a ton of do-it-yourself home improvements and repairs along the way that I have been very proud of.

This post on how to install baseboard is sponsored by The Home Depot. Last year I did a basement makeover, laying vinyl plank flooring over linoleum tiles.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of VELUX Skylights. All opinions are 100% mine.

I don’t get that opportunity… View Post

When we moved into this 1973 about 9 years ago, the last thing I paid any attention to was building DIY closet shelves. When you’ve got wallpaper on every vertical surface and avocado green toilets, updating the closets with DIY closet shelves is lowest on the priority list. While I was running around like a chicken with my head cut… View Post
This post is sponsored by Troy-Bilt. All opinions belong to Thrift Diving. There’s something magical about the winter, isn’t there?
