Get to know Me

Dena Breitmeyer

Hello!! Welcome to my little corner of the world! My name is Dena and I am a wife to my husband of 18 years and momma to two amazing kiddos! I love all things DIY as well as the challenge of creating beautiful homes.... on a serious budget! My husband and I have renovated all of our previous homes over the years and our DIY "passions" have turned into a total way of life for us! So much so, that we purchased 65 acres of vacant land last year, and built our new home from the ground up DIY style. Nearly all of the work was done by my husband, myself, and two kids (14 & 17 year-olds, who are, like I said "AMAZING")! I have spent my entire adult life building, renovating, and decorating our homes (all while being a stay at home momma) and I can't wait to share with you all that I have learned along the way! I am so excited to have this little place for sharing all the DIY things that I tackle! I'm so glad that you're here to join me on this journey! I know that we'll have a fantastic time together and I hope you find some inspiration along the way!!!
