Hello!

Welcome to DIY in PDX! I'm Rachel, and I love power tools, fashion, vegan food, jewelry, sawdust and paint (maybe not all at the same time). I write, photograph, and make pretty much everything you see here, and share DIY projects, recipes, style, and design that inspires me from my home in beautiful Portland, Oregon. Want to know more, or get in touch? Go here!

Me, reading one of my favorite blogs, "I think I have that same tree stamp. That picture looks kinda familiar......Oh, because I took it." 🤣

What you can't see in this picture: The potty chair and litterbox on the floor. No one would like that photo, not even me.

Gave my kitchen shelves a little cleaning and refresh today. Has anyone tried that puck light trick for adding a faux-hardwired light? What do you think of it? Tempted to try it here.

Now that the last week of the #oneroomchallenge is finally here, I get to show you guys how our bathroom turned out! The before-and-afters are SO satisfying. Swipe to see the ugly before. So glad that bathroom is gone forever!

I've been waiting for the Fall 2020 One Room Challenge for months, and it's finally here! I can't wait to share the makeover of the very ugly bathroom behind that door. Want to see lots of very badly installed brown tile? Check out my second image, or my blog post about it.

Gotta be honest right now: Feeling pretty overwhelmed lately. If the global pandemic and police riots in response to social justice protests weren't enough, now we have the fires. For the third day in a row I told my sweet daughter that in addition to not being able to see anyone, today we can't go outside, either. The air is too bad. She brings me her shoes multiple times a day. But our inconvenience is nothing compared to the terrible loss of life nearby. My heart is breaking for the whole West coast. This is climate change.
