Hi, I’m Tara, a Washington-based DIY enthusiast, first-time homeowner, and lifelong maker. For me, home improvement is really just arts and crafts all grown up. I’ve always loved working with my hands, and there’s nothing more satisfying to me than creating something beautiful without spending a fortune at a box store.
A little while back, I got the keys to my very first home. It’s great as is, but I have big plans (and I mean every single room). Stud & Sage is where I document the journey, one budget-friendly project at a time.
Here you’ll find everything from beginner woodworking and DIY home improvement to crafts, decor, and everything in between. My goal is simple: to show you that you can do this too. No experience necessary, no big budget required.
When I’m not covered in sawdust or paint, you’ll probably find me hanging out with my dog Beans and my cat Zoey- my two favorite home renovation critics.
So glad you’re here. Let’s build something together.
