 Hi! We’re Cathy and Garrett…

…and we fix up old homes in Washington state. After a decade of honing our DIY skills in Seattle, we traded the hubbub of the city for the charm of small-town life. Now settled in our quaint hometown, Ellensburg, we spend our days tackling DIY renovations, embracing a slower lifestyle, and wrangling our 3 kids and we share it all here on the Grit and Polish.
