Hello! I’m Jenny, the founder of Sweet Teal! I help people create DIYs, get organized, and get inspiration. I do this by sharing tutorials of how to make things and do things and giving them the tools to find the time to do it. I do it because I beleive you can have the life and home of your dreams on a budget without compromising your personal style. I started this blog in August of 2014, originally Lace & Glaze, and I had just moved out of my parents house and had zero furniture and no decorations for my new home. That is when I really started to get into making things and now about half of the things you find in my home are made by me! From my doormat to my DIY teepee to my mermaid shower curtain, I have transformed my home into a big DIY project and I am in love with it and believe you should be in love with your home since you spend so much of your time there. I also love making things like necklaces, shoes, and clothes. My style is laid-back, tropical, and bohemian.
The name Sweet Teal comes from my favorite color: TEAL! It also plays off of “sweet tea” even though I hate sweet tea. I’m more of a lemonade kind of girl so that is where the lemon comes from. My handiest helper is my husband Will. He’s also my muscles on some of my bigger DIYs and he just plain out supports me.
We had a baby in 2020 named Ruby, and she’s our most precious gem.
We also have two rescued and mischievous pups, Gunner and Colt. I’m obsessed with animals and I hope to own a rescue shelter at some point in my life. Fun fact: I’ve raised six ducks, a bunny, and multiple kitties in the past.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy everything I share on here. If you aren’t already, you can follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube! If you recreate any of my DIYs I would love to see them! Just include #SweetTealDIY when you post on social media or tag me @sweettealdiy. I’ll be sure to like and comment to show some love back!
