Trinda the Handywoman Window treatment/decor hanging, custom built-ins, porch screening, fixture replacement and much more! In my current home I've focused on custom built-ins.

I spent thirteen years as an environmental engineer and another thirteen years as a high school science teacher, all the while honing and expanding my home-improvement skills. I've done major renovations to four of my homes over the years, including two full basement finishes.

This homeowner decided they didn't like their green dining room so brought me in to do a skim coated faux wainscoting, crown molding and wallpaper. She's still deciding what color she'll paint the crown and wainscoting. Can't wait to see her finished design!

More cabinet projects! Also added the removable floating shelf in the laundry area.

Just finished up this MASSIVE feature wall! If you zoom in you can see the faux limewash finish - a new one for me! Looking forward to seeing how this homeowner finishes the space with decor.

Two more mud bench / drop zone areas I've done recently! The first is an IKEA hack - Besta bench with doors (topped with a wood bench top of my making), a Sektion tall cabinet with two doors and a Kallax cube storage. The second just wanted some added storage and character to the spot where they store the vacuum, so no bench. Both fully trimmed out of course so they look like they've always been there.

Another laundry room upgrade! This time we used Home Depot Hampton Bay cabinets in Ink Blue.

Y'all, I have seen some shoddy builder work in closets since I started this business, but this one takes the cake. The builder/contractor used DRYWALL SCREWS to attach the shelf supports. Couple that with hanging a bit too much on the rod and the tops of the screws just snapped off, sending the rod and its contents crashing to the floor. Since it all needed redone, this homeowner took the opportunity to have me move up the shelf and add another below. Another easy closet upgrade adding a ton more hanging space!

Not really a space in this floorplan for a mud bench but this family needed hook boards for backpacks, jackets, hats and purses. Decided to shiplap the whole area to echo the fireplace wall I built previously.

I've done a bunch of closet upgrades since starting this business. They can be simple or complex. Here's two ends of the spectrum I finished this week. In the first pic, the homeowner just wanted an additional shelf above and additional hanging space below the original hanging space. The second pic shows part of my first IKEA Pax full closet makeover! I've done a few closets using the Closet maid Selectives and Select+ systems but I've always wanted to try out the IKEA system. It was fun for me and easy for the homeowner to customize to her wants, needs and budget.

Our builder grade closets in 6 Creeks leave a lot to be desired. Reach out if you want to discuss a closet upgrade at a FRACTION of the cost of those closet companies you see commercials for.

I've done so many Ikea hacks since I started my handy woman business, but somehow have never done a wall of Billy bookcases. Finally got to do that this week!
