About Me

Welcome to Sawdust Girl, I’m Sandra.

Sawdust Girl Profile

I have a passion for design, remodeling and carpentry.  I have spent the last 10 years buying houses, fixing them up, selling…and starting all over again.

 I love taking ugly spaces and making them beautiful.

I live for figuring out how to utilize every inch of usable space in a room.

I’m a designer, remodeler and carpenter.

 I studied Interior Design in school and discovered a passion for building and creating with my own two hands — the spaces that I design.  My husband tolerates the messes I make in our home because the outcome is always worth it but he prefers being involved in the process as little as possible.  Construction is not glamorous and it is not for everyone!

We’ve lived all over the country in the last 18 years.  I’ve enjoyed moving frequently.  It’s given me lots of remodeling and building opportunities.

We now live in Tennessee where I’ve started my own business building custom built-ins for others as well as coaching those who want to learn how to build for themselves.  If you are interested in any of that awesomeness, email me at [email protected]!

I hope you’ll join me on my DIY adventures!
