DIY This N’That is a blog focusing on home improvement where design and tile intersect.
DIY This N’That will feature various types of tile and discuss their applications, offer design ideas, profile innovative products and upcoming designers. Home improvement projects and sharing personal stories will be also be a featured part of the blog.
Updated several times a week, we hope to bridge the gap between designer and homeowner and make it all seem less intimidating.

And who am I? My name is Chris and I am a serial remodeler. There really should be a 12 step program for this illness.
I currently live in an old house in New England that my husband and I are trying to rescue from a century of neglect and bad taste. Every single room has had to be gutted, most floors replaced, electrical redone, all new plumbing, brand new furnace… the list goes on and on. We bore our friends with our renovation tales, we see their eyes gaze over and yet we can not help ourselves.
Other people carry a wallet filled with photos of their children, I carry paint swatches.
I will be sharing tales of our extensive renovation as it happens, discussing our thought processes and design ideas. Always welcoming feedback and input.
I graduated from college with the ever lucrative degree in studio art. And immediately went on to acquire the just as lucrative degree in English. Writing about design, it would seem, is a perfect fit.
