Hello and welcome to my website! I'm Kathryn Bechen, longtime published home and lifestyle author, DIY decorator, organizer, and entrepreneur helping others learn to organize and decorate their homes and lives on a dollarwise budget.

I share in my downloads here my tried-and-true real life examples and photos from my own homes, having moved 16 times around the USA since 1980, living in a variety of styles and sizes of homes with my handy husband Steve. I specialize in small spaces, but many of my organizing and DIY decorating tips are useful in larger homes as well.

As a homebody with a wanderlust streak thrown in, my husband and I have also stayed in 69 Bed & Breakfast inns in 17 U.S. states, which has greatly served as inspiration for my writing and my own cozy-cottage-home lifestyle.

In addition to my short pdf downloads here, I also have easy DIY how-to-tips eBooks on Amazon.

Thanks for stopping by!
