ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Lisa!
Welcome to Garrison Street Design Studio! I am the creative designer, project engineer, and photographer behind this little corner of the internet. I am so glad you stopped by 
I am a self taught DIYer, home renovator, and amateur woodworker who loves taking on new projects, big and small to create a beautiful and inviting home for my family and I. One room at a time I am remodeling dated spaces into Pinterest worthy designs without breaking the bank doing it.
I have created beautiful spaces through interior design and DIY for over 20 years and I want to give others the courage to create their dream home too! All you need is a little creativity and the confidence to try. Gorgeous homes don’t need million dollar budgets and I am here to show you how to do it!
Here you will find detailed tutorials on renovation projects, IKEA hacks, furniture building plans, organization, and inspiration for home and holiday decorating. Whether you want to renovate a bathroom, lay new flooring, upcycle a piece of furniture, build a custom bed, add an electric fireplace, create a custom closet, or hack an IKEA dresser into a dog crate, I have you covered.

Home projects can be intimidating but they don’t have to be. I spend a lot of time learning the tips and tricks so you don’t have to. Let me show you how to create the home of your dreams with high end looks on a budget. Stop dreaming and start doing.
While I am a true creator at heart, I am also a wife, a dog mom, and an aspiring domestic goddess. Standing by my side and often assisting with heavy lifting, is amazing husband Barry. Our sweet boy Marvin is also usually standing by watching with extreme skepticism.
We are St. Louis transplants living in Denver, Colorado. We also love cooking, wine, and traveling so don’t be surprised if those things work their way into the conversation 
If you like to cook too, make sure you check out Garrison Street Eats for all my home cooked recipes.
I am so thankful you stopped by and hope I can inspire you to create a home you love!
