Hi, I’m Karrie! I’ve been a teacher for over 20 years, but outside the classroom, I’ve always loved creating cozy, functional spaces on a budget. I started this blog—and my Instagram @kvlhomefinds—as a way to journal the journey of turning our house into a home, one project at a time.

What began as a personal space to document the little wins—like painting a room, organizing a pantry, or finding the perfect HomeGoods accent—quickly turned into a passion for sharing affordable home finds, simple DIYs, and practical organization tips with others who love the process as much as the result.

Over the years, I’ve styled four homes, and I’m currently pouring my heart into making our new home both stylish and comfortable for our family. Whether you're looking to refresh a space, tackle clutter, or just get inspired by real-life home projects, I’m so glad you’re here!
