Hi! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Brittany, the human at the helm of by Brittany Goldwyn, my space for all things creative. My tagline is “live creatively” because I want to inspire you to do just that.
Almost everything I post about falls under DIY home decor, woodworking, crafts, renovation, plants, gardening, or styling in my home. I also post about a smattering of other topics under an aptly named “Other Stuff” section where I share…other stuff. Random musings, baby-related things that aren’t necessarily DIY, the occasional photography tip (I’m a photographer). These posts are a fun change of pace for me.
I’ve gained a lot of my skills through reading, watching, and trial and error. My dad is also a licensed general contractor and is extremely talented, so I’ve learned a lot from him over the years. I have been blogging here for a few years now and love sharing my projects to inspire others. When people hear about my blog, they usually think it’s like an Etsy store and ask me what I sell. I tell them I don’t sell products, I sell ideas…except you don’t have to pay to read my posts 😉
Speaking of my posts, I have quite a few of them. To help get you started, I’m going to round up the most popular ones and some sentimental favorites in each of my major categories. Prepare to be dazzled!
