Win My Entire $800+ DIY Queen Wish List

You guys all know that DIY is where my heart is.

It’s what keeps me up at night (in a good way); ruins every manicure I’ve ever had (when is acrylic paint under your nails going to be in fashion, by the way?!); and keeps me creative and inspired almost every day.

That’s why my last wish list giveaway with my partners at Signature by Levi Strauss & Co.™ is the one I’m absolutely the most excited about! If you’ve been coveting the supplies from all my tutorials, then you’re in luck. I picked out some of my all-time DIY favorites — and some fun new goodies, too!

Keeping Things Cute in the Kitchen

I take a very hands-on approach to DIY and definitely don’t stop at my calligraphy or painting projects. Lately I’ve been doing some light woodwork and building furniture, which has me oh-so-gracefully crawling all over the floor chasing rogue screws and bolts.

This is one area where I absolutely won’t compromise. My quick, 30-minute projects have a habit of morphing into hours-long endeavors, and being uncomfortable while I’m trying to be creative makes me grouchy. So as soon as I get home from work and shift gears, I change into comfy outfits like a soft tee and my Signature by Levi Strauss & Co.™ jeans. And if I’m working inside, I’m almost always barefoot. Helps the creativity flow, I guess? 😉

I’m a major multitasker, though, so I often need to wear something that can transition to whatever’s next on the to-do list. Last weekend, for example, I was hunched over a tarp on my studio floor stenciling this cabinet door. Being a perfectionist and making sure everything was just so, I lost track of time and had to rush out the door to teach a Christmas ornament workshop. Fortunately, my Modern Bootcut jeans with Simply Stretch denim moved with me flawlessly from paint-covered to presentable. Plus, I think this dark Greystone color looks really polished with a pretty sweater!

My gel mani was a whole different story after the painting though…

The other thing I love to keep around for these transitional outfits is a nice work apron with several pockets. The apron keeps my clothes from getting covered in paint while still looking stylish. Then, when I’m teaching a workshop, I can stash different supplies everywhere — my phone fits in a jeans pocket and doesn’t feel bulky or leave a weird gap because they’re so stretchy, and then paintbrushes, scissors, and even Christmas ornaments for my students can go in the apron pockets!
