Crystel Montenegro is the owner of Crystel Montenegro Home. This website began in an effort to show you that creating a beautiful, comfortable, and functional home does not have to be an expensive or difficult ordeal. She started her DIY journey as a stay-at-home mom while her husband was preparing to begin his first year of medical school. They were living in her sister’s basement temporarily and wanted to find a way to make it a cute space, but on a budget due to little income at the time. She searched through Pinterest for ideas, and once she had the plans she made her way to the nearest Home Depot beginning her DIY journey that has blossomed into a community of people to share an array of fun projects and home ideas!
