Welcome to Building Bluebird! I’m thrilled you’re here! My name is Lindsey, and I live in Toledo, Ohio with my wonderful husband, our two energetic children, and our two lovable dogs.
In 2019, we purchased a charming 1960s home and it’s the backdrop for many of the DIY projects and home decor ideas I share with you.
Buildingbluebird.com is the place to find approachable DIY tutorials and affordable home decor inspiration. At Building Bluebird, my mission is simple: I help busy women and mothers design functional homes that energize and bring them joy.
Every home should be a reflection of its owner’s unique personality, a place where you can create lasting memories with your loved ones.
Whether you’re tackling a DIY project over the weekend or looking for affordable decor tips, I provide approachable tutorials that fit seamlessly into your busy schedule.

How I Fell in Love with DIY
I grew up helping my parents tackle renovation projects at home, but my DIY journey really began when my husband and I bought our first home in Denver, Colorado.
As new homeowners, we quickly realized that taking on home projects ourselves could save us thousands of dollars and was a creative outlet for both of us.
We bought and sold three homes in Denver and with each house, my DIY skills grew.
I also discovered my passion for real estate during this time in our lives. I decided to switch careers and we moved the family back to our hometown in Ohio where I could pursue real estate and blogging full-time.
Licensed Real Estate Agent in Ohio and Michigan
When we moved to Ohio, I joined Danberry Realtors and became a licensed real estate agent in NW Ohio, and Southern Michigan.
Along with my love for DIY and home decor projects, I am passionate about helping my community become homeowners. I enjoy helping sellers highlight the best parts of their homes and maximize profit when they sell their homes.
Working with buyers to find their dream home and helping them visualize what a home could be with a little love, is extremely rewarding and one of my favorite aspects of this job.
