Turning DIY, Motherhood, and Mess Into a Creative Business with Alyssa Vilardi of The Things We Built

What happens when “making do” turns into making magic? This week, Annie and Lauren sit down with DIY designer and content creator Alyssa Vilardi of The Things We Built to talk about transforming everyday spaces (and everyday chaos) into something beautiful, functional, and full of heart. From painting nurseries in military housing to running a thriving content business, Alyssa shares how she built a brand rooted in authenticity, family, and the courage to take imperfect action. The trio dives into all things DIY, design, motherhood, and the art of creating joy right where you are, mess and all.
