Welcome, my name is Dena & this channel is a little glimpse into my DIY life.
I love sharing simple DIYs and home decorating all the way to really large DIY construction projects such as self building our dream home (& everything in between)!
Before starting this channel, we spent 17 years designing, renovating, and decorating homes, (& moving 17 times) we were homesick & really missed our families. We decided to sell our home, walk away from a dream job, schools, & give it all up to move back home and raise our children near family! BEST decision of our lives! We purchased vacant land & put all our construction and DIY skills to the test by designing and building the cottage, all DIY for a budget of $70K (in 2017)and the rest is history!
If you love home decor trying your hand at all kinds of DIY, be sure to hit that subscribe button and follow along as I share how to build a beautiful life one DIY at a time!

I love XOMacenna. Her candles are stunning. They fit right in with your decor.
I love XOMacenna's candles too! They make such a beautiful statement.
Beautiful job! We love rustic also, I use antlers fall and winter decor .
Ohhh everything looks gorgeous! Your wreath is perfect ❤ I was wondering if you could share the Etsy link for the print that you made on canvas & framed? It looks so pretty in your cottage. Merry Christmas to you & your family & may God continue to bless you with good health 🙏
Soooo beautiful ❤
Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
WoodPrix woodworking plans are nice for that.
Hi Dena! Found your channel just now, I also live in MI and yes northern did get hit with snow! So lucky yeah!
Welcome to the channel! I am so glad you found me. We sure did get dumped on and it sure is beautiful! Makes it super easy to get in the Christmas spirit!
I lost my border collie on Decembre 27th 2019 she was near 12 years old, I had her since she was 8 weeks and I miss her so much, I think of her everyday. Until 4 weeks ago I wasn't able to have an other dog because I didn't want to replace her. I adopted a 12 weeks old male puppy from a shelter. I applied for adopting the mother but she was not ready having been hurt so bad by the previous owner so they gave me one of her puppy because she was a stray pregnant female when she has been brought at the shelter. I will never forget my Maggie, it is just an other chapter of life so I understand how you feel about Luna ❤🇨🇦
Love your channel. I subscribed! I didn’t know you had a channel I have followed your sister for a while. Where did you get your blue boots? Could you link 🙏🙏🙏Blessings
Thank you so much! My taller boots are amzn.to/4g4nmPW and I also have the duck shoe version of the same Sperry boot. I wore both the shoe and boot in this video:) Hope that helps!
I'm so impressed you dug out the tree and carried the small trees by yourself. You go girl! I love that you use fresh greens outside your house. That is real Christmas.
Loved this post! I live in Southern California and we have many magnolia trees nearby and I cut limbs off to make table garlands all the time! I’m sure people that see me think I’m crazy but magnolia wreaths and garlands are so beautiful and FREE that it’s too hard to pass up. Mine always come out very full also and I laughed when you said that! 😉 Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄 2024!
It's so fun to make garlands from nature's bounty! Merry Christmas to you as well!

Thank you so much! I'm happy you're enjoying the channel!
I found your channel this morning. can't wait to sit and watch all your videos. what I have seen so far I'm in love with your property..
I found this channel and I’m so grateful! I’m recovering from foot and ankle surgery after an accident earlier this summer and so bummed not to get out and do this exact same thing, but I’ve taught my daughter and husband well, they are clipping and bringing fresh cuttings to me and I’m learning to use my hands free crutch to get me through the next 6 weeks! Love Lisa, but I’m excited I found this one! Merry Christmas and holiday season.
Wow you are an amazing lady, the painting g is gorgeous. You are multi talented. Xxx
That is very sweet of you to say! Thank you ever so much!
Wow you guys are amazing, so patient the house is looking wonderful, only just found your channel. I love the cottage you are living in rights now on the property, so cozy xx
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words...we love the little cottage so much too! It has taken a lot of patients for sure to self build a house...one day at at time! Dreaming of next year at this time and how wonderful it will be if we are actually finished and moved in for Christmas!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you! The snow makes it feel so festive!
Iam new love the stuff you do I do the same thing
Good thing I paid attention because I thought you altered the direction of the branches each time, love love love and I hope to try that next year and I even have an old sled👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍
Very nice 💚🎄❤ I washed the slip covers first and low dryer heat released the wrinkles. :)
The joy you exude is wonderful to see!

I’ve always wanted to go on a wintry sleigh ride with hot chocolate and the whole nine, barn fire, etc. I plan to add cedar branches and battery candles and fairy lights to my window boxes. The rest of my house and yard are done! Your property and the boughs are so magical! Someone in my neighborhood does them across their portico every Christmas and they are beautiful! What a Blessing!🙌🏾
It's such a blessing to be able to bring the magic of nature into our homes during the holidays. Thank you for sharing your plans!
Absolutely beautiful 😊
New subscriber & I love all the natural look for Christmas. 🎄 We now live in town..but my hubby family farm are loaded with evergreens and I use them to decorate all my flower boxes. Did you get that big snow storm with 4’ of snow❓. Here in Iowa, we did get a dusting…but it’s ccccold 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶.
Welcome and thank you so much for subscribing! I love your idea of decorating your flower boxes with evergreens! Yes, we have had 6 solid days of winter snow storm warning here...and I'm sure we have a few feet out there! Stay warm and have a wonderful Christmas!
Where are you living during this new home build ❓❓❓
Where and names of salvage places you went???
❤❤❤❤❤ very nice
Thanks 😊
Beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
I’m not embarrassed to say this but I often times find myself pull over on a country road and clip greenery or pick flowers. I’m sure nature doesn’t mind 😂 now my kids have gotten in the habit of picking flowers for mommy 😂
I just recently came across your channel and I’m loving it (new subscriber 🙋♀️) I’m making my first natural garland this year. We get a real tree each year but this year I’ve gathered some branches that came off the tree when my husband trimmed it. I’m soaking them in cold water for a day or two that way they’re well hydrated. We live in North Georgia and it gets cold but nothing like where you are. We hardly ever get snow here. I’m so thrilled that you are making these videos because they help me when I do my DIY 😊thank you!
Thank you so much for subscribing and I'm so excited to year you're making garland! That's genius to soak the branches (my garland freezes and holds it's color) before making it! I'm sure it'll be so beautiful!!!
Beautiful, love ❤️ the fabric, I think pinch pleat curtains look much more expensive
Thank you! I love the look of the pinch pleat too!
How much have you spent to build this place? How much money did you save building it yourself? Is there a cost per square foot
Great to see how much progress you have made! Since we last traded comments, we have pour the footers, poured the basement slab, and have the walkout basement Fox Blocks stacked two courses from the next level. Love your wrap around porch. We are planning something similar. It is a LOT of work but I am sure that you and your husband feel a great sense of accomplishment and approaching the finish of your home.
Wow, that is amazing...what a huge accomplishment! Slow and steady wins the race (as they say)! Thank you for your encouraging comment!
Why did y’all decide to do housewrap?
Glad to get an update! The corner trim may have taken a long time, but it looks really amazing. I was eyeballing it even before you started talking about it. Well done.
Thank you!!! It was so tedious, but we sure do like how it turned out!
