I’m Casey Finn, the creative force behind this corner of the internet. My passion for DIY sparked at a young age—I’ve always been determined to figure things out myself. Back when I was a news reporter in a tiny town, I had to get creative to decorate my apartment on a tight budget. That’s when I fell head over heels for DIY projects. From revamping hand-me-downs to hunting treasures in thrift stores, I loved transforming my space into a cozy home.

From small crafts to major home renovations, my projects have evolved alongside my skills. When my husband and I bought our 100-year-old Chicago home, my DIY journey hit new heights. I’ve tackled everything from bathroom remodels to wallpapering marathons, turning our red brick bungalow into a personalized sanctuary. I’m not a pro contractor or designer—just a determined gal learning as I go! In 2024, I launched “Your Home Playbook,” a digital guide to help homeowners stay on top of maintenance tasks. It’s been amazing to see how it’s empowered so many to take charge of their homes. I am so happy you’re here! fun Facts about me My husband and I are high school sweethearts. His name is “Mike”, but he goes by his last name, “Finn”. It can get a tad confusing sometimes! We’re a family of four with our two young ones, Rory & Ellis. I’m an Enneagram 3 and very type-A. I worked as a TV reporter and producer, before leaving my career to blog full-time in 2018. My alma mater is the University of Notre Dame, where I was captain of the dance team. Go Irish!
