welcome to a girl’s guide to home diy


Our goal is to be your go-to source of all information for your home! Whether you’re just moving into your first apartment and need home decor tips, buying your first home, or starting out as a landlord, we’ve got how-to posts to help you make your home your own, one project at a time.

We aim to empower women (and men!) to tackle projects, big and small, around your home, from painting a room and changing out a door knob, to doing a complete kitchen renovation. In each post, you’ll find step-by-step instructions (and pictures) on how to complete a project, as well as tips I learned while completing each project (and ways to avoid any mistakes I made!).

HI There! I’M Lauren!

I’m so happy you’re here!

Hi! I’m Lauren, a nurse practitioner-turned-amateur DIYer from the DC area. My love of DIY projects started with our first home and a very ugly light fixture. After a few years and many projects, my family is now onto our next adventure–creating a coastal, colorful oasis from our new construction home in Charleston, South Carolina and learning new DIY skills with each project I tackle. I’m here to help you navigate any beginner-friendly and budget-friendly DIYs, and add a little info from my experience with the new construction process, becoming a landlord, and a little family life mixed in.
