Shop my projects
Everything I actually use, in one place. Tools that have earned their spot, the paint and finishing supplies that decide whether a project looks homemade or expensive, and the pieces in my own house.

If you own nothing yet
This is the question I get more than any other, and buying in the wrong order is how I wasted money early on. A drill is not first. I wrote the whole list out in order, with what to skip and what to wait on.
Tools and hardware
Two places I buy almost everything. Amazon for the tools, the bits, the sandpaper, the safety gear, the things I run out of. Lowe’s for lumber, sheet goods, and anything I need to put hands on before I buy.
My Amazon storefront
Sorted into lists by project type. The tools I reach for constantly live at the top. This is the one I’d bookmark.
My Lowe’s storefront
Lumber, plywood, paint, and the bigger tools. Where I go when I want to check a board for warp before it comes home with me.
Home and decor
The furniture, rugs, lighting, and the pieces people ask about after a room reveal. Almost all of it now runs through one place, which makes it easier for you and easier for me to keep current.
ShopMy
Start here. This is where nearly everything lives now, across most of the stores I actually shop. If I’ve mentioned something on camera, this is the fastest way to find it.
Wayfair
Furniture and rugs specifically. Worth its own link for the big pieces, where having options at a few price points actually matters.
Before you buy anything
You need far less than the internet tells you. I built most of what’s on this blog with about five tools, and the expensive mistake I made early was buying a new tool for every project instead of learning the ones I had.
Buy your blades better than you buy your tools. A good blade in a cheap saw beats the opposite every single time.
