Colin Archer

Colin Archer fell in love with DIY the first time a $12 can of paint completely transformed a thrifted dresser. That obsession with turning overlooked, ordinary pieces into something worth keeping has stuck with her ever since. With a Visual Arts degree and over 10 years of hands-on experience, Colin tests everything herself before she writes about it, mistakes included, so readers get advice that actually holds up in a real home. Her approachable, no-judgment style meets people wherever they're starting from, and she regularly hosts community workshops to keep that connection hands-on and real.
