When I named this podcast there was a double-sided meaning here. On one hand “making space” means making your spaces, taking charge of DIY and projects, and really just stepping up and taking charge of the process of designing a home that you are obsessed with and everything that comes but it also is about making it all apply to you and what you want out of your space.

I thought this was the perfect time to take an episode to really unpack what it means to “make space” in your home because I think as we begin the year there are a lot of additions you feel you need to add to your life. Those things feel like they can pile up and be overwhelming. So listen in as we dive into what it really means to “make space” in your home.

In between projects, she shares the ups and downs of motherhood from caring for a child with cancer.

In this episode, Cara sits down with ToolBox Divas Founder and former commercial banker, Timisha Porcher, diving into navigating the custom home build process, construction loans, and DIY renovations.

She also dishes on what it’s like to keep all the details in order, choosing a quality builder, talking to your bank and getting permits.

Timisha is a country girl from a small town outside of Charleston SC. She’s always been fascinated with building things like furniture, cabinets and anything home related and while she started her career becoming a commercial banker, she was always making things for her home and repairing anything in need of repair. The knowledge she gained allowed me to become more confident and self-reliant tackling her own home improvement projects. Eventually her talent was noticed by friends and family, and she realized lots of women were uneasy with Do-It-Yourself (DIY) tasks and even afraid to try. She found her calling, creating Toolbox Divas, to help women conquer the unknown and to take charge of their own home.
