Carrie Spalding discovered the power of DIY when she moved into a 1970s brick ranch in massive need of updating, which she transformed into a beautiful haven for her family. She shares her DIY adventures and triumphs on her blog LovelyEtc.com. When she’s not busy building, painting, or plotting her next project, she’s usually cleaning up an epic mess created by one of her three boys. Carrie lives in Roanoke, Virginia.
