About Mel

I'm a lifelong hobbyist and an amateur everything. I often find myself trying to teach myself a new skill or diving into a project I've never done before.

In Fall 2019 I bought my first home, a 1939 gablefront in Kitchener, Ontario. I live there with my partner, Ryan, and my dog, Abby. With the help of some talented family and friends I’m working to slowly fix it up and make it into a space we love. Follow along with progress on my Instagram, @melmakesamess and check back here for posts with before & afters, finished rooms, and how-to’s on various projects.

I love learning how to make, build, and craft and I normally make a mess along the way. Follow along, let's figure this out together!
