DIY Beginner Basics is a self-paced online course designed to help you confidently tackle real home projects, save thousands on labor, and create spaces that truly feel like you.
This is about more than tools and tutorials. It’s about walking through your home and saying,
“We did this.”
you don’t have to wait for “someday.”
It’s time you finally did that thing you’ve always wanted to do.
You don’t have to wait for “someday.”
You don’t have to outsource every project.
And you don’t have to be a professional to create a beautiful, functional home.

40% of bids are LABOR.
One Course. Skills You’ll Use for Life.
We’ve all been there. The cabinet falls off its hinges, the kids bust a hole in the wall, or the kitchen faucet is leaking and creating some serious water damage. These minor repairs can get expensive.
When you start to dream a little bigger, tearing out that outdated bathroom and tiling it into your dream oasis. Or tearing out your closet to install the custom shelving you’ve been aching to have to not just look pretty, but give some order and organization to the hot mess it is today. Each project can have a price tag in the thousands or even tens of thousands making the dream feel even that much more out of reach.
Let me be real with you. These are REAL costs from professionals on some of the things I’ve come to master through the skills of DIY.
COST OF LABOR
- Floating shelves: $500-1500
- Tile installation of a bathroom: $5,000+
- Cabinets/Builtins: $3,000–$15,000+
- Accent Walls: $3000+
40% of the cost of any given bid you receive is LABOR. When you can cut out the cost of labor what once was “unaffordable dream” suddenly becomes attainable. All because you know your way around some basics tools.
DIY Beginner Basics costs less than hiring out one small project — and gives you the skills to tackle many.
Every project you complete after this course:
✔ Saves money
✔ Builds equity
✔ Adds pride and confidence
This is an investment in your home and your future and the reviews speak for themselves.

hello there!
Nine years ago, I was overwhelmed with the cyclic mom duties and needed an outlet for me. DIY Saved me.
I was in the thick of motherhood with 3 kids under 4, and craving something that was just mine. I was navigating the transition from working mom to staying home, and my days felt like a constant cycle of toys, dishes, and messes. I needed something that had forward progression.
That’s when I found DIY.
Each day, I worked a little on a project. It gave me space to create, to focus, and to see real progress. Piece by piece, I was building something with my own two hands, and that feeling changed everything.
Through DIY, I found myself again. I found joy in creating a home I loved, and that joy carried into every part of my life. Making me a more present mom, a better partner, and a happier friend.

WILL I NEED TO BUY TOOLS?
Yes and no. Ideally for this course and if you are serious about starting to DIY, you should own a miter saw, a drill, and a nail gun. These are what I call the necessity tools, but if you have a neighbor or a family member you can borrow them from what works as well. If you have a DIY Bestie, you can go in on tools together and lower the cost as well as purchase refurbished/lightly used tools from places such as eBay, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace. Specialty tools can also be rented from your local hardware store if you. Need it for just one project. My rule of thumb is when you go to start a new project include a portion of your budget to buy the one tool you’ll need for that project. No need to fill a workshop with tools that you may or may not use.
