About This Video

If you’ve been wanting to tackle DIY projects but feel intimidated by a whole garage full of tools, this video is for you. I’m breaking down the beginner DIY tools you actually need—plus a few supplies that make every project easier—so you can start making changes to your home with confidence. Think: hanging wall art the right way, painting without the mess, and getting those clean, “expensive-looking” finishes without needing a ton of power tools. I walk you through my must-haves for simple home improvement projects like installing wall moulding, trimming, touch-up work, and basic assembly. I’m sharing the tools that give you the biggest payoff as a beginner—like a miter box (or miter shears) for clean cuts, painter’s tape and an extendable roller for smoother paint jobs, and picture hangers that make frames feel secure and polished. I also cover a few upgrades—like a drill, electric screwdriver, and brad nailer—so you can decide what’s worth it now versus later. The goal is to help you build a small, practical toolkit that makes DIY feel doable (and your home look so much more elevated).
