High Style, Low Spend, Built by You

Get to know me

Hi, I’m Haley! The hands, heart, and hammer behind Bones and Builds. I’m a death investigator by day and a DIYer by every spare second, passionate about creating beautiful, functional spaces on a real-life budget. I believe you don’t need a contractor or a picture-perfect life to build a home you love. You just need a little vision, a few tools, and the courage to start. I’m here for the homeowners, the renters, the busy parents, and the big dreamers ready to pick up the drill and make magic happen.


Looking for DIY that’s beautiful, budget-friendly, and actually doable?

You're in the right place

I started Bones and Builds with nothing but a tight budget, a baby on my hip, and a vision for what home could feel like. I’m not a contractor—I’m just deeply stubborn and wildly passionate about making spaces beautiful, functional, and full of heart. My goal? To empower you to pick up the tools, trust your gut, and create a home that tells your story—without breaking the bank.
