Aniko Levai
Hello! My name is Aniko and I blog over at Place Of My Taste. I am a wife, mother, and business owner by day, and DIYer by night. I love all things design, décor, and photography, but I also have a passion for cooking, wine tasting, dancing, and creating beautiful things. I am so happy that I’m able to share all of my joys and passion on my blog and now I can share it with Jen’s readers as well. I also run an online shop and you can find my photography e-book filled with tips to achieve beautiful photography and styling. I hope that you’ll come visit and find something that inspires you!Place Of My Taste

Anika Gandhi
Anika blogs at Anika’s DIY Life where she documents her DIY adventures and shares inspiration to fill lives and homes with DIY. She loves building and creating home décor projects and has a special place in her heart for woodworking. Starting out 6 years ago, with only ever having held a hammer and a screwdriver, she discovered the world of DIY blogs and power tools and has never looked back. Her goal is to inspire and encourage other beginner DIYers to be fearless, pick up that power tool, and create a home they love by infusing their unique personalities into it.Anika’s DIY Life

Sheri has always found a passion in making and being creative, and has been documenting her projects online at
Hazel + Gold Designs since late 2016. She works in various mediums such as painting, crocheting, woodworking, resin art, sewing, vinyl crafts, and more. When not working on projects, Sheri enjoys spending time with her husband, four children, perfect dog, and ornery cat.
Shara McCuiston
Shara is a math nerd with a passion for do-it-yourself projects, woodworking, and furniture building. She works in a factory by day and in her woodshop by night. She lives in Kentucky with her husband, dog (Lucy Lou), and three cats. Shara started woodworking about three years ago and enjoyed it so much, she wanted to share her tutorials and experiences with others on her blog, Woodshop Diaries. When she isn’t working, building, or blogging, you can find her daydreaming about her next project or watching reruns of The Office.
