Meet the Family Behind Locksley

Hey there! Welcome to our little corner of the internet where creativity meets the concrete (quite literally!). I'm Amanda, the lead dreamer, doer, and DIYer around here. As an unlicensed contractor with more muscle than a morning cup of coffee, I’ve got a hammer in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, transforming one room at a time.

Growing up, my playground was the sound of saws and the smell of fresh lumber. My parents, the original home-building heroes, have crafted over 11 homes from the ground up. It’s safe to say that a little sawdust runs through my veins! From them, I learned not just the how-tos of building homes but the heart behind each nail driven.

Alongside me in this DIY dance is my incredible husband, the brawn behind the brains, who manages all the heavy lifting. Our two wonderful kids make sure to remind us that no home project is complete without a little fun (and maybe a few fingerprint smudges in the paint!).

Here at Locksley, we’re all about rolling up our sleeves and diving into DIY projects that won’t break the bank. We believe that with a little ingenuity and a lot of elbow grease, you can transform any space into a stunning showcase without spending a fortune.

This blog is my way of sharing our journey with you—offering tips, tricks, and inspiration to help you bring your own home dreams to life. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just starting to dip your toes in the home improvement waters, there’s something here for everyone. No contractors? No problem!

So grab your tool belt and let’s get to work on making your home as unique as you are. We’re here to share the joy of DIY to inspire and empower your own home transformations. And who knows? Maybe we’ll even sprinkle in some savvy shopping secrets along the way.

Thanks for stopping by!
