My friend Ms. Rhonda asked me to help her with her home, and of course, I was thrilled!

When I arrived, I asked her what she was hoping to replace.

She said, “Nothing! I just want to use what I have, but I think it can be better.”
MUSIC to my ears. 🙌🏼 My fave kind of design!

We moved a console from her dining room to an empty wall in her kitchen. We swapped chairs from her living room to her eating nook. We created a gallery wall with meaningful art we found scattered throughout her home. We traded a square end table for a round one to soften the space. We cleared surfaces, grouped her purple dish collection, moved lamps, and rehung art at the right height.

These changes transformed her space, and it cost her exactly ZERO dollars.

And THIS is why I always recommend shopping your own home and figuring out what’s actually missing BEFORE you spend money on new things.

Once we’d made the most of what she already had, we could see exactly where spending a little money would make the biggest impact: Roman shades in her kitchen, a rug, and a new chandelier in her dining room.

The goal isn’t to never buy anything new. It’s to stop spending money on things that aren’t solving the problem and start making intentional choices that make your home better.

And if you’d love help transforming your own home (without renovating or spending a fortune), that’s exactly why I created The Room-by-Room Edit!

It’s a 10-day guided experience to rework, repurpose, and refresh the spaces in your home — with practical design tips, budget-friendly ideas, and help making your home feel more intentional, collected, and cozy.

Doors open today (October 26) for the waitlist only!! and we’ll kick things off November 2! If you aren’t on the waitlist, you have an hour to do so, or doors will open on Wednesday, Oct 28 at 9am. You can follow along with the community in real time or work through the challenge at your own pace.

Hi! My name is Alyssa. I’m a SAHM of three kids, I love DIY and design and I’m trying to create a home I love at a price (and pace) we can afford. Around here you’ll find practical design tips, budget-friendly DIYs, gardening inspiration, and everything in between as we transform our cozy cottage one project at a time. If you have a normal house, a modest budget, an appreciation for classic design and want to create a home you truly love, this space is for you! Alyssa Martin | DIY & Home Design

I know I’m not the only one who has more fun and can actually relax when my house feels put together.

I want to be the one who raises her hand to host a special event. The one who welcomes people into her home without second-guessing everything. The one who can be present making memories with her kids instead of wishing her house felt a little different.

And I know that starts with having a home that feels good to live in. Not just clean or organized, but cozy, welcoming, and put together. A place I can exhale at the end of a long day. A place where I’m not secretly embarrassed by the art on the walls because I know it’s hung wrong. 😂

ANYWAYYYY… let’s get our homes to that point. In 10 days, we’ll go room by room, tackle the things driving us nuts, and make small changes that can have a big impact.

We’ll use what we have, learn how to make our spaces feel more pulled together, and figure out where a little effort goes a long way. No renovations. No buying all new furniture. No need to spend a ton of money (or any at all). Just practical design tips and a plan to help you love the home you have…just in time for the holidays.

Comment CHALLENGE to get on the interest list - you’ll get early access and an exclusive discount. Doors open MONDAY!

You might be thinking, “There’s no way we can do ALL THAT in 10 days.”

And you’d be right! 😂

I mean, we’re not going to cram 7 years of working on my house into 10 days. But we CAN accomplish a whole lot more than you might think!

I truly believe you can make a huge difference in how your home looks and feels by simply using what you already have and applying a few practical design principles. No major renovations or spending a fortune required!

By the end of the 10 days, you won’t just have a home that feels more put together. You’ll also have a plan for what to tackle next as time and budget allow.

Another component of the challenge is the community. I’ll be there to help you work through your design dilemmas, troubleshoot tricky spaces, and figure out what will make the biggest difference in YOUR home. It’s like hiring a designer for less than the price of a pair of jeans. Plus, you’ll get to connect with others who are working on their homes at the same time!

The goal isn’t to have a perfect home in 10 days. It’s to fall in love (or make some tweaks) to the home you ALREADY HAVE, just in time to enjoy the holidays without feeling like your house is one more thing to worry about. 🤎

I let this bathroom sit as a boring gray box for SEVEN YEARS because I thought it needed a complete makeover. 🫠
Turns out, all it really needed was a rug.

One affordable purchase, a couple of things I already owned (linen towels and a pretty soap dispenser), and about 15 minutes later… I had a bathroom I actually enjoy looking at.

WHY DID I WAIT SEVEN YEARS?! 😂
And now I’m motivated to tackle the next thing: adding art to the walls.

Sometimes (okay most times), you don’t need a whole room makeover. You just need to figure out which small change will make the biggest difference.

That’s what I want to help YOU do in The Room-by-Room Edit! It’s a 10-day guided experience to rework, repurpose, and refresh the spaces in your home so you can create a home you love without renovating or spending a fortune. We’ll talk about things like light bulb temperature, functional decor, design by subtraction, creating a cohesive space, hanging art at the right height, scale, proportion, the cozy factors, my super simple holiday decorating formula and SO many more practical design tips you can implement RIGHT NOW in every room in your house.

You deserve to love the home you have NOW — not someday when you finally have the time or budget for a big makeover (do what say not as I do LOL).

Let’s get your home feeling cozy, collected, and ready for the holidays, so you can spend less time worrying about your house and more time making memories with your fam. ❤️

Comment CHALLENGE to join the interest list and get early access to the $37 early-bird price (regularly $57)!
We start November 2 - do the challenge live with the group or do it at your own pace!

Let’s rework, repurpose and refresh the spaces in your home before the holidays so you can enjoy the season instead of worrying about your house!!

When I say “splurge,” I don’t necessarily mean spending a ton of money. Sometimes it means finding a quality piece on Facebook Marketplace for a fraction of the retail price. Or stumbling across a gem at an estate sale that looks way more expensive than what you paid for it.

The goal isn’t to spend a lot of money. It’s to mix affordable finds with a few well-chosen pieces that elevate the entire room.

That combination of old and new, high and low, affordable and investment-worthy is what makes a space feel collected, layered, and intentional.

You don't have to buy expensive everything to create a home that LOOKS expensive. You just have to be thoughtful about what you bring in and where you spend your money.

A handful of affordable finds + a couple of quality pieces = a home that looks high-end without the high-end price tag.

If you’re interested in learning how to do this in your own home (plus a whole lot of other practical design tips to take your spaces to the next level!), join us for The Room-by-Room Edit! ❤️

We’re spending 10 days going room by room, making small, intentional changes to help you create a home you LOVE before the holidays.

Because I want you spending your holidays making memories with your family, not worrying about the state of your house!

You don’t need a big budget (or a budget at all!). You just need about an hour a day to work through the guided challenge I’ve put together — or you can go at your own pace!

And you won’t be figuring it all out alone. I’ll be there to help you troubleshoot those tricky spaces and answer your design questions along the way.

Let’s make the most of the home you have! 🫶🏼

If you’re new here, Hi! My name is Alyssa. I’m a SAHM of three kids, I love DIY and design and I’m trying to create a home I love at a price (and pace) we can afford.

Before you add another thing to your cart, let’s take a step back. 👀

One thing I’ve learned while updating our home is that making a space feel better doesn’t always mean spending more money.

Sometimes it means removing the things that aren’t working. Rearranging what you already own. Fixing the lighting. Or finally hanging that piece of art that’s been leaning against the wall for six months.

It’s easy to look at a room we don’t love and immediately start making a shopping list. But if we don’t understand why the room isn’t working, we can spend a whole lot of money and still feel like something is missing.

My goal is to help you create a home you love without feeling like you need a bigger budget, a complete renovation, or a new house altogether.

Make the most of what you have, THEN decide what you need. 🤎

And if you’re ready for a little help figuring out what to do in your own home, that’s exactly why I created the (yes, still unnamed 🤪) Challenge!

We’ll spend 10 days going room by room, learning practical design tips and making simple changes that make a big impact. You’ll have attainable daily tasks, a community to encourage you, and a plan for what to tackle next.

We start November 2, and I can’t wait to work through this together!

If you’re in a busy season of life, I see you, because I’m right there with you, sister. 🤎 But let’s not let it stop us from creating a home we love!

Home is meant to be a sanctuary, a haven. A place where we can rest at the end of a long day and our kids feel free to be themselves. And while Pinterest boards and perfectly curated social media photos can make us feel behind in so many areas of life, I want you to know that you aren’t. Your home doesn’t have to be finished to be loved.

My goal is to do a little something for my home every day. Sometimes that’s five minutes (most days, if we’re being honest 😂), and sometimes it’s three hours. But over time, those small, intentional efforts add up to real progress.

And I’m not necessarily talking about spending money or starting another big project. I’m talking about taking small steps to make your house feel more like the home you want it to be.

If you’d like a little help getting started, I’ve created a challenge to help you do just that. We’ll spend 10 days going room by room, making small changes that make a big impact. No renovations, no overwhelming to-do lists, and no pressure to have it all figured out. Just practical steps to help you love the home you have, use the things you already own, and make intentional changes that transform your spaces.

Doors open October 26 for the waitlist, and waitlisters get a special discounted price!

Comment CHALLENGE below, and I’ll send you the link to join the waitlist! 🤎
