Pharmacist👩🏽‍⚕️| DIY is my therapy
Empowering you to turn your Pinterest board to life one DIY at a time while prioritizing mental health
🇭🇹📍ATL

The stress of working in healthcare was burning me

The stress of working in healthcare was burning me out.

I loved being a pharmacist… until it became mentally and emotionally draining.

What started as a way to protect my mental health turned into a passion for building, learning, and turning our house into a home.

I didn’t know how to use most power tools when I started. I just decided to try. One project led to another, and now DIY is something I genuinely love, sometimes we even do it as a family.

If you’ve ever wanted to start DIY but felt intimidated or didn’t know where to begin, you’re in the right place.

You don’t have to know everything, you just have to start.

🛠️ Follow along as I turn Pinterest ideas into real life, one DIY at a time.

Hiring it out wasn’t in the budget, so I picked up

so I picked up a power tool and learned as I went.

Turns out, starting is the hardest part.

A house becomes a home one project at a time. 🖤

Every clip here is part of our house to home journey.

the risks, the mistakes, the constant decision-doubting, the learning curves, and the “95% done” moments…

And yes, almost every project involved black paint somehow 😅

It’s safe to say black was my color this year.

Not just a design choice, what finally made this house feel like us.

Would you paint your door this bold?

DIY home projects don’t have to be kid free to get

DIY home projects don’t have to be kid free to get done. I let my son help where he can, learn alongside me, and be part of the process.

Do my DIY projects take longer when he helps? Absolutely 😅

But he’s building confidence, learning new skills, and creating memories right alongside me, and that part matters more than finishing fast.

If you’ve been here for a while, you already know

If you’ve been here for a while, you already know I love a wood slat wall design

But buying pre made slats for large areas can get expensive fast.

When I built my DIY coat rack wall, I came up with a more budget friendly option: ripping 1x2x8 pine boards in half. That one change cut the cost of this DIY slat wall in half.

If I plan on painting the slats instead of staining them, I’ll use primed pine or MDF, which is even cheaper than select pine. A lot of people use plywood too (totally an option), but the unfinished edges drive me crazy, so I prefer solid wood for a cleaner, more finished look.

This is one of my favorite ways to get a custom wood slat wall without the custom price tag.

Would you stain these or paint them?

Painting the door black changed the entire vibe.

Was it extra? Maybe.
Was it worth it? 100%.

Would you paint your door black… or are you sticking with white? 👀🖤
