DIY FRIENDS!

Hi! I’m Danie - a curious creative, oddball DIYer from Ontario, Canada! 

Some of the wisest words I've ever encountered come from a fictional children's television show, where the spontaneous and courageous Mrs. Frizzle declared, "TAKE CHANCES, GET MESSY, MAKE MISTAKES." These six words have guided me throughout my life. To be creative, you must embrace new ideas, take risks, and venture boldly into uncharted territory. Mistakes are part of the journey, often leading to new insights and perspectives. Creativity isn't just a skill; it's a feeling. Embrace it, and see where it takes you.

Welcome to DIY In Progress, a haven for creative enthusiasts, DIY warriors, home decor aficionados, and interior design seekers like me who need inspiration and motivation for home projects!

I've been creative all my life, from drawing and painting to crafting, but my DIY journey truly began in my twenties. Living in a small basement apartment with unusual architecture and quirky nooks, I needed better storage solutions. Unable to find the right products, I decided to create my own. Using limited tools, I built functional solutions that, while not perfect, worked for my space. From that moment, I was hooked on the magic of DIY projects.

I've never been tied to one specific creative outlet. My love for creativity and making things aligns perfectly with my spontaneous, unpredictable nature.

My life has always been a DIY in progress, which is why I started this blog. I'm not perfect, but I'm not afraid to get messy and try new things. DIY In Progress is more than just a collection of home projects—it's a lifestyle, a passion for home decor, and a source of inspiration for new ideas around the home.

I hope you find this space inspiring and that it encourages you to infuse your homes with a little more love and creativity!

XO, Danie

Stay Positive, Stay Creative and Keep on DIY'n! ♥️ BOOP.
