Welcome to Attic Floor Arts
DIY has been my way of life. I have always had very busy hands, love to be creative and stubbornly like to save money and so figuring out how I could do it myself was pretty high on my priority list. Almost 30 years of that and landing some pretty interesting opportunities and I’m still going strong. Only now I’m sharing my journey, what I know, what I’m learning and how you can do it too! Here you will find free projects and an explained “how to” in almost everything crafty! From quilting, furniture up cycling, home decor, sewing, crochet, woodworking, renovations (tiling, drywall, framing, flooring, plumbing, a smidgin of electrical and trim work…yes I’ve done all those too) and basically whatever new peaks my interest.
See how its done, find inspiration and encouragement.. I look forward to hearing from you. Be sure to subscribe so as not to miss my next project!
