Hi! I have some new followers, so I thought I'd introduce myself because that's something people do. I'm Marti, and I built these stairs. (The process shots are saved in my highlights.) *** I do all of my DIY projects solo - my husband @jarrodrouth is responsible for grocery shopping and cocktail making. We're DINKs by choice, but love being an aunt and uncle to our siblings' kids. We bought our house 3 years ago: a 1913 bungalow in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood. I've been blogging for 8 years at projectpalermo.com. I have no ambitions of monetizing my blog - in fact, I pay for it to be an ad-free space. I like being a small non-profit corner of the internet. *** I went to @grinnellcollege (Art History) and @illinois1867 (masters in Library & Information Science). I work at @braintree/@paypal, which is the best job I've ever had. I get excited about: new tools, used furniture, music videos, potted plants, and tights weather. 👋

I know some people prefer the bite-sized world of Instagram over blog posts, so I posted some before & afters in IG Stories!

My make-it-work kitchen makeover is finished! There’s a slew of before and after photos on the blog - link in profile. #overstockstyle #rejuvenation #myonepiece

After installing, painting, and caulking one thousand feet of moulding downstairs, it’s nice to just buy some furniture and plop it in a room! A lot more expensive, but so much more immediately gratifying. 💸 Additional shots in IG Stories. #ourarticle #mylampsplus #wayfairathome #3paycheckmonth

New kitchen door, trim, and tile - Baby’s First Tile Job! Process shots in IG Stories, details on the blog, link in profile, all bases covered.

Tuckered out from all the late-night fireworks.

This is my first blog post. Will I stick with this project? It is unknowable!
