Whether you’re dreaming of a Pinterest-worthy kitchen or just want to refresh your living room walls, home projects can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re doing it yourself. But it doesn’t have to be intimidating. In this episode of Merging Into Life, host Sabrina Pierotti talks with DIY creator Kat Sanders about how she transformed a former cow shed into her dream family home—and what she’s learned from ten years of renovating it one project at a time.

They talk about how to get started (even when you’re scared), how to create a space that feels like you, and how to stretch your budget with secondhand finds and hands-on work.
