About KariAnne Wood
KariAnne Wood is the author of four best-selling books, including So Close To Amazing, The DIY (Decorate It Yourself) Planner, and The DIY Style Finder. She writes the decorating and lifestyle blog Thistlewood Farms from her project-filled historic home in the busy Dallas Metroplex where she lives with her husband and four children.
If you wander down the tree-lined streets of KariAnne’s beloved hometown, McKinney, you might find her painting mismatched chairs, listening to Christmas carols no matter the season, transforming trash to treasure, or walking hand-in-hand with her knight-in-shining-armor husband to a Friday night football game. She loves sweet tea with lime, thunderstorms, good books, a milk glass, and yard sales where everything is a quarter.
Thistlewood Farms is full of stories of family and faith and features hundreds of the home decor projects KariAnne creates every week for readers. The blog was awarded the Country Living Decorating Blog of the Year, was named one of the Top 10 Decorating Blogs by Better Homes and Gardens, and was voted one of the best DIY blogs of 2015.
KariAnne has been featured in Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Ideas, Country Living, Flea Market Decor, Country Woman, HGTV Magazine, the Cottage Journal, the Chicago Tribune, Reloved, and This Old House magazine, and on popular websites including the Today show, Better Homes and Gardens, Country Living, Apartment Therapy, Good Housekeeping, MediaKix, Bob Vila, and Buzzfeed.
KariAnne has made appearances on numerous television programs including Nashville Channel 5’s Talk of the Town, and Channel 8 in Dallas.
