No magic wand, just a drill and a sense of humor.
Real Life. Real Laughs. Real DIY.
DIY dreams?
Pinterest overwhelm?
You’ve got ideas, but zero clue where to start.
It’s easy to scroll for hours, pin a thousand pretty things, and still feel stuck in a beige-colored limbo. You want to make your home yours—but with real-life timelines, actual budgets, and maybe a toddler (or three) underfoot. Sound familiar?
Let’s make “nailed it” your new catchphrase.
DIY Squid is where heart-meets-hammer.
I’m Sydney (aka Squidney), and I’ve renovated six houses without losing my mind, or my sense of humor. This space is for women like you: the moms, the motivated, the magic-makers who just need a little nudge and a good tutorial. I bring the laughs, the lessons, and the “oops” moments so you don’t have to DIY alone.
DIY Squid started with a nickname and a whole lotta love for power tools. It’s grown into a space where family, floral aesthetics, and fixer-upper flops collide, in the best way. Think of it as your digital bestie with a caulk gun and color-coded to-do lists.
Home. Humor. Hammer time.
The cozy corner for imperfect DIYers.
Welcome to my curated little corner of the internet where you can shop all the pretty (and practical) things I genuinely love and use. From tools I swear by to throw pillows that spark joy, it's all here.
Curious what paint I actually used? Want the light fixture that made me cry happy tears?
