A New Era for Dunn DIY

It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone, and what a year it’s been! In 2025, Dunn DIY officially surpassed more than a decade of being a place to dream, design, build—and make it yours. From backyard benches to custom bookshelves, we’ve loved sharing projects that make our customers’ homes a little more beautiful and their lives a little easier.

Celebrating over a decade of Dunn DIY

Year after year, Dunn DIY has been a labor of love supported by incredible people. Focused on bringing renter-friendly DIY ideas to our customers, Kirsten helped put Dunn DIY on the map with approachable gardening, décor, and home projects anyone could tackle. Todd brought a homeowner’s perspective—diving into larger builds and more advanced projects, and leading our product-focused video series where he walked the aisles of Dunn Lumber to spark inspiration straight from the store shelves.

And last but certainly not least, countless Dunn Lumber employees rolled up their sleeves to share their own expertise and perspectives—showing what make it yours really means in everyday life, and how DIY can take many forms across different homes, interests, and lifestyles.

All of that passion and teamwork has brought us to where we are today—so let’s take a look back at some of the key moments that made Dunn DIY what it is.

The milestones that shaped Dunn DIY

2014: Dunn DIY launched (in a tiny Seattle garage) as a small but mighty team dedicated to empowering homeowners to take on practical projects themselves.

2017: We opened our very first DIY studio, giving us the space to film tutorials, test projects, and grow the team behind the camera.

2019: We renovated the studio, expanding our creative capabilities and welcoming new faces behind the scenes.

2020: During COVID-19, we adapted our content to focus on DIY projects that brought comfort, creativity, and connection to everyday life—helping people make the most of time at home.

2024: We celebrated our 10-year anniversary with a look back at our favorite projects, milestones, and makers. 

Here’s to the next chapter of make it yours

With the start of 2026, we have exciting news to share…

Dunn DIY has a new home! All our content now lives in Dunn Lumber’s new, central blog home—The Dunn Solutions Blog! Whether you’re a DIYer, homeowner, or professional contractor, The Dunn Solutions Blog is your go-to destination for trusted advice, step-by-step support, and bright ideas for projects of all sizes.

And don’t worry—while our blog homepage might look a little different, Dunn DIY isn’t going anywhere. 

As we turn the page to this exciting new era, we’re filled with gratitude for everyone who’s brought Dunn DIY to life over the past decade—and inspired people to dream, design, and build success together.

We can’t wait to see what the next 10 years bring, and we hope you’ll keep sharing your ideas, stories, and skills to help us keep finding new ways to make it yours.
