When I learned my friend Karianne of Thistlewood Farms was publishing a new home decor book, I had a hunch it would be special. What arrived on my doorstep surpassed that hunch — I actually squealed when I opened the package, and that doesn’t happen often.
The DIY Home Planner is utterly charming. From the cover to the inside pages, it feels like a celebration of making a house into a home. The design and illustrations are delightful and thoughtfully done, inviting you to linger on every spread.

There’s a special joy that comes from seeing a fellow blogger and home-decor enthusiast release something so heartfelt. I know how much passion, creativity, and hard work goes into a book, and I’m genuinely happy for Karianne and her accomplishment.
Besides sharing a love for home decor, Karianne and I now have the same publisher and literary agent, and we’re even working on a book together. It feels like we’ve become part of the same family, and I’m proud to cheer her on.

The planner is full of creative touches and practical guidance. It’s not only pretty — it’s useful. You’ll find pages to sketch ideas, plan projects, and jot down notes. There are pockets at the front and back for loose inspiration or swatches, making it a functional tool for anyone looking to plan room makeovers or refreshes.
If you’ve ever felt unsure where to begin when decorating or personalizing your space, this planner offers approachable prompts and inspiration to get you started. It’s perfect for late-night planning sessions with colored pencils and markers, letting you dream and design at your own pace.
The DIY Home Planner is available for purchase on Amazon, and it makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves creating a warm, personalized home.
