DIYstinctly Made

Hello! We’re the Boehringers (pronounced Beringer…like the wine), and we are the “crew” behind DIYstinctly Made. We’re just a couple of budget-minded crazies with the start of a tool collection and the determination to do it ourselves. We love to build things, refinish things, and pretty much put our own touch on anything we can get our hands on ESPECIALLY if it saves us a buck or two.

The “new” kitchen is Andi-approved! This farmhouse sink is perfect for bathing babies and no, this one isn’t damaged. Wayfair delivered a new sink and R&R Tops came out and finished the counter/sink installation this past week. I attempted a white wash on the brick but ultimately decided to paint it all... and... I’m in love 😍 It really lightens up the space and ties in some of the rustic charm of this home. Though it is a small touch, my favorite part of the backsplash is the area under the window sill. The vertical bricks add just the right amount of character. The biggest victory of the day was installing the pot filler faucet and finding NO LEAKS! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 (I’m sure it’ll start leaking JUST because I posted that.) I’m so proud of us for knocking this out (it’s been a long time coming). I’ve already got my eyes set on the next step (hello new vent hood and possibly ceiling?) but Kurt is over it and says he’s leaving for the next 3 months 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 That’s alright... right now I’m loving the view #diy #kitchenremodel #farmhouse #farmhousekitchen #backsplash #brick #fixerupper

A Saturday at home and an opportunity to get one step closer to a completed kitchen. Today, I grouted the “easy” way using premade grout. It was hella expensive, but I didn’t want to waste all day going through trial and error of mixing the grout properly. Since everything will be painted in the end, I didn’t have to be too neat (which was nice). I got into the groove of pipe, wipe, and rinse... only to be disrupted by a return trip to Lowe’s (it’s not a DIY project without multiple trips to the store, right?) Now it’s time to wind down to some college football and get ready to wake up and go back at it! #mykindofweekend #kurtsoverit #hewantedtogohunting #openingdayofdoveseason #kitchenremodel #farmhouse #farmhousekitchen #renovation #diy #doityourself #grouting #brick #backsplash

After many breaks for movie changes, meal preparations, the overall needs of our children (how dare they), and two solid buckets of mortar 😂 the brick backsplash is finally laid! I must say, as first timers my expectations were low but I’m very pleased with how it looks thus far! If any grout gurus are reading this, we will gladly accept any advice for grouting. #homerenovation #kitchenremodel #diy #doityourself #farmhouse #farmhousekitchen #brickbacksplash

Lesson learned: inspect your sink BEFORE installation day 🤦🏼‍♀️ I found this beautiful sink on Wayfair.com. With a shallow self trimming apron, this sink was THE fit for our kitchen. Any other farmhouse sink would have required new cabinet doors to be made. Fast forward to 10am of installation day and I get a call from Kurt “The sink is cracked. We can’t install the countertops without a sink and they’ve already removed/damaged our existing sink and counters” Y’ALL. Why in the HELL did we not inspect the sink?! I’m embarrassed to say I almost cried like a baby BUT, thankfully I remembered what the wise Kourtney Kardashian once said... “Kim, people are dying!” Okay... you’re right Kourt. Get it together. The good news is, after Kurt and I achieved full on panic mode, calling every distributor in town without finding a replacement, Wayfair.com came to our rescue. A new sink is on its way and we were able to use the damaged one in place for now. Even though our countertop install wasn’t able to be completed today, we’re one step closer and I’m loving the view 😍 Thank you to R&R tops for having extreme patience and grace, and telling us this happens all the time. #kitchenrenovation #renovationonabudget #farmhousekitchen #kitchenremodel #amaturehour #crisisadverted #thankskourt

Prepping for backsplash by replacing drywall with backer board #DIY #kitchenrenovation #homerenovation #fixerupper

Making way for our new farmhouse sink! 😍🙌🏼 We lined the cut line with tape to help prevent splintering and it worked beautifully! The sink is a short apron which should allow it to fit right in place without changing the cabinet doors below... fingers crossed I measured correctly 🤞 Monday can’t come soon enough! #kitchenrenovation #diy #farmhousekitchen #farmhousesink #itshappening
