MEET CARLI/Press & Features

Carli Alves 2023Hi there!  Welcome to Made by Carli, where I share my passion for home decor, DIY, and interior design.  One of my favorite sayings is — “Necessity is the mother of all inventions,” and is definitely the starting point for most of my projects.  Here you will find projects ranging from small builds to recipes to crafts and room makeovers.  There’s a little something for everyone! Made by Carli started back in 2010 as a way to journal and share my small crafts with my friends and family, and is now my full-time job!

I believe that your home is your refuge-a space that should be calm and welcoming, so I tend to decorate on the neutral side as my desire to switch things up creeps up quite often. I am extremely resourceful, so my favorite thing to do is to challenge myself to re-purpose or recycle things to make them new and useful again.

One of my favorite types of challenges to tackle in my home is to find new and unique ways to utilize otherwise useless spaces. Be sure to follow along as we transform this old house into a home.

    I loved your article on your daughters room makeover when she was away at camp. I loved the room, but I also loved the messy hair don't care hoodie in one of the photos of the closet in her room-by the way, that is a super cool idea and a great life hack!! Part of the time I spent looking at the photo was looking at that hoodie!! It's adorable and I was wondering where it's from! Do you know still? Thank you for your time!

      Sorry I am so late to respond! The hoodie was purchased at Sears 😊
