Chris @ Picardy Project

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meryl and Chris are DIY and renovation enthusiasts at PicardyProject.com. When they're not tiling, refinishing floors, rebuilding a terrible addition made on the back of their house, replumbing their bathroom, ripping up and installing a 950 sq. ft. patio or any other project they decide to sink their teeth into in their Storybook home in Oakland, CA, they're most likely off at some sporting event or in a movie theater.
