You can also find her on Pinterest and Instagram where she shares additional pictures of her redesigns as well as interesting snippets of her daily life.

Kate shares these DIY adventures on her blog as well as her textile designs, interior decorating ideas, home improvement tips and tricks and stories of her life in California.

DIY Inspired
Dinah Wulf
Dinah is a work-at-home mom who says that she loves being home with her two daughters but that the decision to stay home wasn’t an easy one. She had worked hard at both schooling and jobs for the previous ten years and wasn’t sure how the transition would go. However, staying at home with her children and getting to share her ideas on how to get DIY crafty on the cheap has come to be exactly what she loves. She started her blog to test the waters and challenger herself to start new projects, share inspirations and hopefully inspire others to do the same. Now she is proud to have been published in magazines, partnered with over 50 brands and has been a brand ambassador to several well-known companies.

She is resourceful and willing to take risks and loves teaching as she learns. She feels that if she can accomplish a challenging project so can you.
