About Roeshel

Hi there! I’m Roeshel, welcome to DIYShowOff, a DIY home improvement, decorating and lifestyle blog for women who love creating cozy spaces, living intentionally and making meaningful memories. DIYShowOff is my little corner of the internet where I share my love of all things DIY, wellness, and creating a home filled with heart. I’ve been blogging for over 17 years now! Wow! Since 2007! What started as a way to document our home makeover projects turned into something so much more…a career, a creative outlet, and a way to connect with the most amazing community. That’s you!

I live in a small town north of Pittsburgh, PA with my husband and our ever-growing to-do list. I’m a mom to two grown daughters and now a grandma to three precious little boys (best title I’ve ever had).

My Heart Is in the Home

I’ve always loved creating cozy, welcoming spaces. I get excited about repurposing old finds, decorating with intention, and making every nook feel like us. I don’t follow one set style. I just do what I love, mixing old and new, thrifted and DIYed, until it feels right. And it usually works!

We’re still slowly renovating our old farmhouse (emphasis on slowly) and that’s part of the charm.

There’s always a project waiting, and I love sharing the progress along the way.

I also host guests at Suite Thyme, our short-term rental in Butler, PA. It’s been such a fun way to blend creativity, hospitality, and design. Think lots of character, decorative treasures, and stories built into every room.

Creating a Healthier Home

Several years ago, cancer touched my family in a big way. With my background in health care (specifically 10 years in an oncology environment), I knew I wanted to make changes. I started swapping out harmful products and bringing Young Living essential oils into our home and sharing with others through my Wellness Inspired Living studio. (I’m a Young Living Brand Partner and may earn a small commission if you use my link. Thank you for supporting my wellness mission!)

That small step led to a big shift in the way I live, and it’s something I’m passionate about sharing. Wellness, for me, isn’t about perfection…it’s about being mindful, making better choices, and creating a space that supports the people I love.

Let’s Do This Together

Whether you’re just getting started with DIY, looking for decorating ideas that don’t break the bank, exploring natural wellness, or simply love a good before-and-after; I’m so glad you’re here.

DIYShowOff is about real homes, real projects, and real people. It’s a place to be inspired, to learn something new, to try something with your own two hands, and to celebrate the journey (not just the pretty “after”).

You’ll also find me embracing this sweet new chapter as a grandma. Being “Grammy” is one of my greatest joys, and it’s what inspired me to create A Grandmother’s Grand-Moments. It’s a keepsake journal, planner, and devotional rolled into one. It’s a faith-filled way to celebrate intentional living, capture memories, and grow closer across generations.

So, welcome! I hope you’ll stay a while, explore, and maybe even feel inspired to pick up a paintbrush or a bottle of lavender. And if you have a DIY project you’re proud of, I’d love to see it. Just send it my way!

Let’s stay connected! Subscribe, browse, or share your own DIY project with me. Can’t wait to get to know you!

With love,
~ Roeshel
