If you’ve ever looked at a project and thought, “I If you’ve ever looked at a project and thought, “I wouldn’t even know where to start,” start with the tools. Once you know how to use them, every project feels a lot less overwhelming!

From scrap wood in my parents’ garage to house fli From scrap wood in my parents’ garage to house flip number four. 🛠️

None of it happened because I had it all figured out. I learned how to use the tools, took a few risks, focused on which projects actually add value to homes and figured out the rest one project at a time.

If you’ve always wanted to learn tools but didn’t know where to start, that’s exactly what my course teaches. It opens tomorrow, and the waitlist closes tonight.

Comment COURSE and I’ll send you the details 👇🏼

4 steps to paint IKEA furniture so it doesn’t chip 4 steps to paint IKEA furniture so it doesn’t chip. I’ve had my fair share of fails when it comes to painting IKEA furniture. But I’ve finally cracked the code! Save for your next painting project 👇🏻

1. Clean, then scuff. Wipe it down with a degreaser. Lightly sand with 180 grit just until the shine is gone, without sanding through the laminate. Wipe off all the dust.

2. Prime with shellac. Two light coats of Zinsser BIN. It’s the primer that actually grips slick laminate. Wait 45 minutes, then lightly sand with 220 grit and wipe clean after each coat.

3. Two coats of cabinet grade paint. I have the best luck with INSL-X Cabinet Coat (sold at Benjamin Moore). Wait 6 hours between coats.

4. Give it 2 weeks. It feels dry in an hour but takes about 2 weeks to fully harden. Be gentle with it until then. This is where most chipping happens.
