East Coast DIY

She said she’d rather take the stairs 😂 @briana_eastcoast #disastertodreamhome

More content on Instagram at Eastcoastfloridadiy! My guess is it wasn’t sealed properly as Merbau is known to be top tier and perfect for sunny climates. Just another thing to add to my to do list! Plan on sanding and resealing to get it back to that beautiful rich tone! 🙌🏼 #disastertodreamhome

It gets it so dark in this room! We have the blackout shades from @smartwings in all the bedrooms and their light filtering in the living areas. 🙌🏼 #disastertodreamhome

Pt 1 Stair Refinish… My goal is to get them looking as good as new! #disastertodreamhome

More fence stuff over on IG at Eastcoastfloridadiy! Starting to look like a fence! 🙌🏼 So thankful for @Jose Garcia ! We make a great team! @Eastcoastdiyhusband made a guest appearance 😂 and ended the day with another fish @Ty🐟 With Greenwoods composite panels we won’t ever have to worry about rot or insects! @Composite Fence Specialists

Anything to help eliminate moisture! I will say installing the @Airmada Drying Solutions was worth the time it took to install! Our shower is not small, so definitely took me some time to make sure everything was positioned correctly and each valve was at the correct depth so that the finished cover would be flush with the tile. It has made cleaning a breeze! Cleaning hasn't been at the top of my list 🤣 and we haven't had any visible mold or mildew and our glass still looks like new! 🙌🏼#disastertodreamhome

#ad I love how the water looks like it’s going right into the Intracoastal! The infinity edge isn’t just for looks —it was designed to let the trough catch all the leaves, dirt, and whatever else floats in. And honestly, I don’t even clean it myself… I just toss the @wybot_official C2 Vision in and let it go to work. Easiest part of pool maintenance, hands down. #WYBOT #WYBOTC2V #poolcleaner #poolvacuum #giftedbywybot #disastertodreamhome

Finally going to get all that bourbon organized 🙌🏼 Everyone has been waiting on this @Eastcoastdiyhusband 😆 Creating floating shelves around our stud mounted brackets from @federalbrace and going to install some LED lights from @aspectLED #disastertodreamhome

Today is the day! 🙌🏼 Our family room is getting furnished! We went to the @El Dorado Furniture in Altamonte Springs, FL to see everything in person! They have 18 showrooms across Florida or you can shop online! Can't wait to see it all come together! #disastertodreamhome #sponsoredbyeldorado #myedfhome

We get it… things happen! Especially in Florida, the sun is brutal, and we are in a very salty climate, so unfortunately the wood just faded wayyyyy faster than ever expected… Bringing it back to new again… well I hope! #disastertodreamhome

Well… I didn’t see it ending that way 😂 Not only did we get an amazing garage floor transformation with @Shark Coatings today! We had a blast! If you were on their live today I’m sure you got to see it all! If you are in Florida I highly recommend you reach out to them for a free quote! 🙌🏼 #disastertodreamhome

Here’s the view from my neighbors side! And their pool is a few feet higher then where the fence ground that I was standing so they can easily see right over it 🙌🏼 We went with the composite in cedar from Greenwood @Composite Fence Specialists #disastertodreamhome #greenwoodpartner #greenwoodfence

It’s working 🙌🏼 Head over to my Instagram at Eastcoastfloridadiy for more content! #disastertodreamhome

Ok well that really darkened it up 🙌🏼 Now do I do the second coat as it calls for? Or wait 7 days until I can sand and top it off with one that brings out more brown then red? Merbau is naturally a very deep red/brown and adding oil every 4-6 months is going to be required, so after I get these back to looking new (or as close to new as I can) it won’t be all this work everytime. I will just have to clean and reapply oil which really didn’t take too long! #disastertodreamhome

Our entire outdoor set is from @Miradoroutdoor 👌Living on the coast everything rusts... and I mean everything! So it took a while to find something that looked beautiful, but was also top notch quality that would last a long time because I really don't want to be replacing it anytime soon! The deck box is Huge! You can store so much stuff in there and it’s easy to move around on wheels! I'll be adding some planters and Vinny will be starting our outdoor kitchen to completely finish the space soon!

A little spur of the moment project with @Jose Garcia ! @victoria :) had so much stuff from her apartment and knowing she’s only home temporarily before med school we didn’t want to get rid of it and have to rebuy so luckily we had tones of totes left over from storage and moving. She kept everything out that she needed but the rest went in storage, but now it’s easily accessible! We went with 6 totes wide and 4 totes high! Probably should’ve done 2 separate ones, but now we can store 24 totes with out having to move them all around to reach something on the bottom. 👍 #disastertodreamhome

Love how it matches our coastal modern vibe, but honestly @El Dorado Furniture has furniture for every style! So whether your home is coastal like mine, or has a very modern, contemporary, or even traditional vibe, they have 18 showrooms across Florida! Or you can even shop online! #disastertodreamhome #sponsoredbyeldorado #myedfhome

Now this might take a little longer than the front stairs, but now that I got the front ones looking almost as good as new I have faith I can get these looking just as good! Going to try out a few new products to compare how they end up hoping up in the long run. Definitely concerned about that platform though 🤷‍♀️ #disastertodreamhome

Yes, our house flooded. Yes, our rental flooded too. Yes, emergency surgery threw another curveball. And yes, our home still isn’t fully finished. But through all the chaos, one thing remains clear—we are so blessed. Every challenge has reminded me to slow down, breathe, and recognize all we have to be thankful for. Grateful beyond words for this journey, even the messy parts. #disastertodreamhome
