Down the DIY Rabbit Hole: The case for handmade, whether you make it or buy it.

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!In this solo episode, I pull a chapter straight out of my book — Handmade — and this time I'm not just talking about it, I'm living it. What started as one paint color turned into curtains, a pleated lampshade, an antique cupboard found on Facebook Marketplace, and a chair I'm already planning to redo.It's about something I don't think gets said enough: handmade isn't a shopping category, like “farmhouse” or “coastal.” It's a relationship — with a maker, with a place you found something, with your own two hands. And once you start seeing it that way, you can't really unsee it.Subscribe to hear the whole cascade:the vintage French fabric that became a bedspread by accident, the lamp I hadn't actually seen in years, and why I think failed handmade projects matter more than the ones that turn out perfectly.
