If you’ve ever searched the web for home DIY projects and inspiration, chances are, today’s couple needs no introduction! Sherry and John Petersik are the avid DIY-ers behind the popular home renovation blog and bestselling book, Young House Love. They live just a few hours away from the SW team in Richmond, and are currently working on their third house, alongside their adorable three-year-old daughter, Clara, and their chihuahua, Burger. They were married in the backyard of their first house six and a half years ago, and we were so excited to have their marriage advice grace the pages of V6!

People always ask us how we’ve managed to do house projects together for five years straight without throwing things at each other, and our answer is always this: it’s us against the house! It’s nice to remember that we’re on the same team and we both want the same outcome. So if we hit a few speed bumps, we’re both going to feel them and get frustrated, but it’s not like either one of us is to blame for them. It’s the dang house! When things are all put back together, we always end up more proud and in love with the house then ever, which is how we get sucked into our next project. It’s a vicious cycle, but there’s no one we’d rather be in that DIY foxhole with.

    Having recently attempted some minor house projects (inspired by these two, of course!), I appreciate John and Sherry’s advice even more! Love them :)
