Renter's Dream
“After downsizing to a brand new white-walled apartment, I wanted to make it ‘my place’ but felt lost and overwhelmed. ‘DIY Deluge’ was like a lifeline thrown into a sea of design chaos. Kristina’s blend of humor and practical advice made me feel less alone and more empowered. I can’t wait to apply her insights to my own home makeover adventure!” – Debbie Howard
DIY Disaster Avoided - Steve
“Kristina’s relatable stories about Michelle and Jason were a lifesaver! I recognized myself in “Weekend Warrior Woes” and immediately hired a plumber. DIY Deluge saved me time, money, and a major headache.” – Steve May
Weekend Warrior Wins - Karen and Mark
“Weekends used to be spent battling DIY disasters. Kristina’s advice on realistic project planning (“Plunging In”) transformed my approach. Now I actually enjoy the process and make steady progress. Here’s Karen jumping up and down with joy with our new guest bedroom – 100% her!” – Karen and Mark Petterson
From Disaster to WHOLE HOUSE MAKEOVER
“Our bedroom and ensuite renovation was heading towards disaster. Kristina’s ‘DIY Deluge’ came to the rescue, with relatable stories like ‘The Looming Deadline’ mirroring our experience. The book ignited a spark of design confidence that spread beyond our bedroom. Inspired, we dove into Kristina’s ‘Your Unique Home Design Personality’ course. Now, we’re transforming our entire home into a space that truly reflects us. ‘DIY Deluge’ was the perfect first step in our home design journey! I have now purchased ‘A Tale of Two Kitchens‘!” – Patricia Lamb
why i wrote this ebook:
A Career Built on Understanding Home Design
As an architect, interior designer, and kitchen designer with over 35 years of experience, I’ve witnessed first-hand the joys and frustrations of home renovations. My journey began with a simple observation: despite my expertise, many clients struggled to achieve spaces they truly loved.
The Birth of The Austin Home Method®
This realisation sparked a mission to bridge the gap between professional knowledge and homeowner satisfaction. I developed The Austin Home Method®, named after my family, to honor the influence of my architect father and fashion designer mother. This method is the cornerstone of my approach to helping homemakers discover their unique design DNA.
Overcoming Early Challenges
My journey wasn’t without challenges. Early in my career, I spent countless unpaid hours trying to understand my clients’ deep-rooted needs and unconscious desires. While this approach yielded beautiful results, it wasn’t sustainable. I knew there had to be a better way.
Empowering Homemakers Through Technology
Through years of refining my process and embracing new technologies, I’ve created a system that empowers homemakers to unlock their design potential. This ebook shares that journey through the eyes of hundreds of my clients, combined with insights from hundreds of thousands of homemakers globally who have experienced these same challenges. It’s a guide to help you avoid the pitfalls I’ve seen countless times and create a home that truly reflects your personality and enhances your well-being.

Blending Expertise with Hands-On Experience
Don’t think that I’m all theory, though. Between my husband, his father, and myself, we have over 70 new residential homes under our belts, and my husband and I are keen DIYers. This book is your starting point for a journey towards a home that truly reflects and supports you.
